Debating between 50mm 1.4 vs 50mm 1.8 for Canon 70D. What's the big differences between the two and which would you suggest?

Google Canon 50mm 1.4 focus problem. Canon even has a service bulletin on it. Save your money and get the 50 1.8.

Whats the difference, except price, in this lens vs. Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 L USM Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras by Canon $1,619.00

There are a couple of differences, but the real question is what are your needs as a photographer? I'm guessing that since you are asking what the differences are between these lenses, your needs are not of the professional nature, but I don't want to assume. The F1.2 is a pro lens. It is a stop faster, has sharper optics, manual focus override with just a twist of the lens, and from what I've heard nicer bokeh. Generally Canon puts everything it has into its "L" lenses. Better optics, build quality, and finish. I do not own the F1.2. I don't need it. To quote a friend of mine that shoots models all day in L.A., "If someone hadn't stolen my F1.4, I would not have purchased the F1.2". For someone who shoots portrait and magazine covers all day and makes a living at it, the subtle differences of the F1.2 are worth the extra money. For someone like me, who shoots portraits on occasion or shots for web sites etc., the F1.4 is a wonderful lens. It's very fast, handles well, and produces great photos. Not to discount the F1.2; it is an amazing lens and if money were no object of course I would own it. Hope this helps. Happy shooting!

Could some kind,patient person tell me how to get to the photo gallery that shows how pictures look taken with a specific lens?thx!

I usually use this website http://www.pixel-peeper.com/lenses/?lens=16You can filter the photos by camera model and lens model. I believe the source of the pictures are all from Flicker

will this work with eos rebel T5i

I only had EOS Rebel t2i and it works with this lens. I'm guessing it will work on T5i as well, but I'm not 100% positive
