Like the 50/1.7, the 50mm f/1.4 is a very nice prime lens. Good for a short portrait lens on APS cameras (5D,7D & A100-A700 etc) at 75mm equivalent focal length. The f1.4 is much like the f1.7 version but a little better in every category - a little better in lower light, a little sharper and more expensive.
Somewhat hard to find. Ebay prices are typically $200-$300.
