If you are searching to buy a 50mm lens but debating whether you should go for the cheaper 50mm 1.8 canon lens, I hope this lens comparison review will help you decide which one to buy and find great prices and variety on these lenses.
Overview
Canon EF 50mm
The EF 50mm f/18 II and the f/1.4 USM are two of the prime lenses that canon lenses have an EF type mount that fits the canon lenses are very popular among photographers, from beginners to professionals.
Canon EF 50mm 1.8
Two of the most obvious reasons that many people buy the 1.8 are probably because it is cheap and offers large aperture. If you are fascinated with the blurred background, you will be amazed with the Bokeh this lens produces at f1.8.
Advantages
Cheap price and therefore excellent value Sharp images Smooth Bokeh Light weight Capability to work in low light conditions Compact size
Disadvantages
Build quality is rather cheap Sharp images (not as sharp at f/1.8, but produces very good results at one stop higher) Auto focus is a bit slow Slight color fringing and flare AF is a bit noisy
Canon EF 50mm 1.4 USM
This lens is very sturdily built compared to the 50mm f/1.8. It is really good at its widest opening (f/1.4). The Auto Focus speed of this lens is fast, but not as quick as most ring-USM-based lenses. The 8-blade diaphragm and maximum aperture of 1.4 give this lens the ability to create shallow depth of field effects.
Advantages
Build quality is decent Sharp image Fast USM AF motor (but not as fast as other Canon USM lenses) Less prone to flare and light fall off Very good Bokeh and contrast
Disadvantages
Micro USM which is not as fast as other Canon EF USM lenses Expensive price Slightly soft image at full aperture Focus ring is not smooth
50mm F1.8 vs F1.4
If you do not have the budget to buy the 1.4 USM, go ahead and get the 50mm 1.8 Canon. It is an amazing lens for the price and a must have lens for every photographer. You can get really amazing portraits, indoor and outdoor photographs with it. However, if you have the budget and are looking for a better build quality lens, the 1.4 USM definitely has the edge.
