We all can see that new ones of these are probably under consideration by Canon. As others say, they would probably double the price compared to the originals (at least initially, before sinking to what the market can stand - as is the Canon way). I like the Canon 50mm f1.4 myself although it could be more robust, although I've never had a problem with it. It doesn't suffer from excessive CA in my opinion, although it is hazy wide open, a little work in post really tightens it up though. These days I am after nice bokeh in my fast 50s, so if anything that is a priority for me, but I would certainly be interested in an IS 50/1.4. My guess is that Canon still sell enough of them a year to keep it in production. I no longer have the 85mm as I prefer the Sigma 1.4, but would certainly like to see a new Canon 85/1.8 IS: it would be nice to have an 85mm with 100% reliable AF. I'll have to try the Tamron 85 one day, although I really like the Sigma.
