A dream!!!
This lens really is a dream!!! I take photos "only" as a hobby, but at a very high level. I'm actually only active in portrait/fashion photography and this lens is perfect for that. Since I'm a prime lens fan anyway and already own Canon's "yogurt cup" (the 50mm 1.8) and the 85mm 1.8, it was only a matter of time before I switched to this lens. The difference between the 1.8 and the 1.4 is still enormous, especially for people who, like me, always take pictures with a very wide aperture (actually never over aperture 2.0). The bokeh is an absolute dream and the focusing (manual and automatic with focus points) is great. The processing of the lens is very high quality (especially in comparison to the 1.8) and it feels good in the hand. The sharpness, even at aperture 1.4, is impressive every time!!! So for anyone who is a portrait and bokeh fan, this lens is a must! Thanks to the light sensitivity, you can take great photos even in poor lighting conditions. However, I recommend it more for intermediate/intermediate users who have heard of bokeh, focus points and aperture. For those who are just entering the world of fixed focal lengths, the 50mm 1.8 is the right choice thanks to its price-performance ratio. Have fun with it!
