Know your tool. the Canon 50mm 1.4 wide open has a nice dreamy look if you keep it away from specular highlights and from f1.8 is sharp, nice bokeh and a real workhorse of a lens, I shot weddings for 6 years with one, it was my most used lens. Never once missed a shot or had problems with the AF. It was faster to focus than my 50L 1.2 and sharper pretty much all the way through.
yeah, this lens gets a worse reputation than it should. yeah, it's fairly soft at 1.4. like you said it's sharp by 1.8, and after that it's an absolute tack.
some of the issue is body dependent. i wasn't crazy about the accuracy of the AF with this lens. then i put it on a 5D3 and it never missed a shot, even at 1.4.
considering you can get one on the b&s for like $250, and it's about 1/3 the size of an L or Sigma, it's alright.
