Any of you guys/girls own Canon 50mm f/1.4 USM? I've read about its AF inconsistency over the internet. Any comments about it?

Good to hear from you. I was about to cancel my purchase (tomorrow) because of the AF inconsistency problem as stated in forums. laugh.gif

I'm not good in handling people's item with care. Besides, I would take a long time (I mean really really long) to test because I don't know what to test if you let me there and then tongue.gif

It is a very fine lense. And to me, not much different compare to the much more expensive EF50 f1.2 L.

But the main question is.... Is the focal length right for you?  brows.gif

Personally I do not like 50mm on 1.6x body. To me 85mm on 1.6x or 1.3x is just good.

But if you are going FF, then get both 50mm + 135L. They will work great!  thumbup.gif

Again... It is focal length taste... and subjective. I just want to pointed it out because I had spend money on something is not my cup of tea.

I have a thought on the 85mm too.. But would the length be a lil long/far?

This is a subjective issue la.

But my logic is... The longer the focal length, the more beautiful the background. So 85mm on 1.6x is the longest I can shoot in most events. But again, in event that 85mm langsung cannot be used like in PC Fair, it is a useless lense.

If I sell RM1000 inclusive of B+W MRC filter, interested or not?

You serious? I'll never sell my lenses though I don't use it often laugh.gif

I have this old lens from my previous SLR and I have sent it to Canon Service Centre for servicing and such. However, I've been told that there is spoilt mechanism in the lens and its spare part is obsolete.

So, my question is, where else could I send it for revival (at cheap rate)?
