The 50mm 1.8 II on a 1Ds III ranking 7th is weird enough, but the 1.4 on the same body ranks 9 spots lower at 16th? ....:raisedbrow:?!
Is that conclusion from technical testing, or is it an opinion?I'm just shocked because the 1.8 that I owned was total garbage and my 1.4 performs quite well.

Edit: and The-Digital-Picture seems to show contradictary results: Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Lens - Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens Comparison - ISO 12233 Resolution Chart Results

It was from me taking a bunch of pics to compare the two before I sold the 1.8. I was curious myself what the difference was so I took some test shots of action figures in a DIY product box at various apertures and the results were most similar to those on The Digital Picture. So... I guess I just got lucky with my copy.
Derrel, don't you have a 50 1.4? How does it compare? Do you think the 1.8 II is better?
I can only imagine who shows up first to tell us that the DXO Mark work is entirely crap, and cannot be trusted. Depending on how the lenses test out, I'd bank on a midwesterner or two to show up to denigrate their work, or a west coast resident...
So you concede to my points, which are valid criticisms? :thumbup:I rest my case.
