50mm f1/2

Jun 21, 2008

I am about to order the 50mm f1/2 and the 5D, it will be my only lens for now. I've seen some shots taken with it and was very impressed, however I have read about back focusing problems. Is this a wise choice? How does it compare to the 50mm f1/4 in terms of IQ? It cost enough but from what I saw it is worth every penny.
