Back and forth we go
A day after seeing signs the 50 f/1.4 was being replaced, I get a few emails saying the lens will remain current for the “foreseeable future”. Who knows how far into the future that is.
B&H has stock again as do most places around the web.
I am in the camp that sees no real reason to replace the lens at this time. It performs beyond its cost the times I have used it.
I downgraded the previous rumor.

Great, so I can go and buy a Sigma 50 1.4 without hesitation. Well, depending on which rumor I tend to believe…
I’m trying for something a bit more solid.
Scaremonger! ;-)
That’s not a bad thing. I’ve found my 50 1.4 performs well (well enough fo my needs) on every body I’ve put it on, even the 5D Mark II. Considering the 50 1.4 is my only commonly-used lens that isn’t an L and I haven’t felt a need or even a want for the 50 1.2L yet, that’s what I’m basing my opinion on.
I used to like this site, but I’m annoyed of the Google ads. There’s nothing wrong with Google ads in general, but here often stores like Xenosworld and Holater are on, which are known criminals – discussed on many boards. You won’t see any penny spent at those places again.
So the owner of this sites makes some money, but I guess some people loose a lot of money to those crooks while trusting CanonRumors shows only good sellers.
