A couple of 50 1.4 samples
Yeah only two. I thought I’d had a bunch of samples by now, but the weather totally sucks (12C every day, it’s crazy), the sky is packed with dark clouds as well, so you really can’t shoot below ISO 400, if you don’t set the aperture below f2 (after 18.30, I don’t have the time for testing during the day). And I want to make test samples at ISO 100-200…Anyway, below you can see an almost wide open sharpness sample and a bokeh/colour sample. And some say Canon’s colours sucks - don’t make me smack you a couple of times 
.
Sharpness sample; looks nice when sized down to web size, only minimal sharpness was added (Rawshooter really adds a minimal amount of sharpness), but adding a lot of contrasts also masks lack of sharpness to a noticeable degree - that’s why a web sample can fool most people. Please view LARGER.
f1.6, 1/80, ISO 200. When you look at a 100% crop you can see that the sharpness is acceptable. And nothing more, it’s not even close to being good, but I’d say it’s still better than my 50 1.8@1.8
I think bokeh and colours are noticeably better than those produced by 50 1.8. They’re much closer to 85 1.8, than to 50 1.8. I was pleasantly surprised by the results (contrast was tweaked) .
I’ll do more testing over the weekend. The weather forecast is pretty good and I’ll have a lot of free time and more friends around to shoot. From what I’ve seen so far, I’ve been a bit disappointed with the sharpness (it’s still a bit better than 50 1.8) and very satisfied with bokeh and colours. And AF seems to work pretty well too, much better than the nifty fifty’s. And I think those all are good reasons for the upgrade/first time purchase.

Canonove barve so zanič…
Drgač se pa lepo vidi na 100% cropu da je še daleč od 85-ke. (o ostrini govorim)

Pero, tako ostrino da meni nifty fifty, ko zaprem na f/2.8 in zgreši fokus
Ne, res, tole ni ostro, tudi za relativno zelo svetle objektive.
Nekaj sem nalepil v Temo o fiksnih objektivih na s-f, samo za primerjavo.
50 1.4 se čisto odprta ne more primerjati s čisto odprto 85ko. Ampak meni zadostuje.
Ajd

Probaj še izostrit na tarči če maš kej BF al pa FF. Drugače pa pomoje tole ni stresena, ker če pri 85ki pri takem času ne streseš, potem nebi smel tudi pri 50ki, ker lažje streseš pri večji goriščnici.

Pozdravljen.
Če hočeš še kak sample za ostrino, si lahko pogledaš tukaj-> http://djure.blogspot.com/2007/09/canon-ef-50mm-14.html , sem danes naredil par posnetkov pri 1.4, ker me je res zanimala ostrina moje 50-ke, ko sem včeraj na SF sledil pogovoru v vriskaču.
