It requires a bit of juggling but I think one way to deal with it is to focus with the DOF Preview button pressed. Its a cumbersome way to shoot though.
Thank you so much. I just tried it and found immediate success. And the process was not as cumbersome as i thought it would be. The focus ring of the 50/1.4 is so buttery smooth that i could easily operate it using just my middle finger (while the thumb is pressing the DOF Preview button). It took very little adjustment on my part, and all i need now is to make this a habit and i should be fine taking closeups with the 50/1.4.
100% crops before & after using the DOF preview for focussing.
With this my biggest complaint against the 50/1.4 is eliminated and i see no reason to replace it with the MP now. Thank you all so much for your inputs.
