![50f14 - EF 50 f/1.4 II USM [CR2]](https://www.canonrumors.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/50f14.jpg "EF 50 f/1.4 II USM [CR2]")
A much needed upgrade is comingA good source piped up today and said a new EF 50mm f/1.4 USM exists and is being tested. Release date is unknown.
Upgrades:
- Optical upgrade, but it's not “L”
- Build upgrade. The current 50 f/1.4 from Canon is one of the most unreliable in the lineup.
- New USM
Along with the above, expect a nice price increase as well. Most likely above its Sigma counterpart.

I’ve banged on Google for some time now on the question of which lens AF’s with which motor. It is surprisingly difficult to find this out. Canon does not show this in their specs page.
Amazon.com, however, lists the 100mm f/2.0 as having “Micro USM”, while the 85mm f/1.8 is show as having “Ring type.”
Still not entirely sure what to believe.
I had a motor break in my lens, it wouldnt autofocus. I did nothing that I am aware to cause the problem. Canon did fix it, as it was still under warranty.
