50 F1.4?
I just bought the 50L and I'm actually quite impressed by it, even compared to the 35L.

i still find 50mm focal length too tight for me, was out shooting at JB with some CS friends yesterday and at times wished i brought along a 35mm for a wider shot to capture the environment... lol guess i am still very much a 35mm person.

Just look at the bokeh of the 50L.
Yeah, soooo creamy at f/1.2 it's like the cream on top of yr latte! ;p
To me, the main advantage of the 35L is its close minimum focusing distance. Bokeh wise ... well, I can't decide which I prefer I find both to be appealing. But its not that frequent that you can exploit this for a meaningfully composed shot. In fact, its pretty hard especially for impromptu shots.

The 35L is more of a half/full body lens. If you try to take head shots, the face will probably end up a bit distorted and unflattering.
The 50L can accomodate just the face/head and blur out everything else.

Not sure who every body is talking to, as this thread is about a year old, but I like to use my Nikon mt Voigtlander 40mm F2 mounted on my 5D for most everyday shooting...(to continue in MF...I throw a Voigtlander 20m, and a Nikon 102 f2.5 in my pocket as well)...All in Nikon mount of course but I have them all mounted in EOS adapters, ready to go...
Same here, 50mm. with a alternative lighter version, 40mm f2.8 now
For me i don't justify the need for a 40mm since i have a 50mm. But then again, it's subjective.
