Unlike the Zeiss and Nikon, EF 50mm F1.4 actually has autofocus, and unlike the Sigma 50mm, it doesn't double as a boat anchor. (That Sigma 50mm is almost as heavy as EF 50mm F1.2L!) With standard primes, compactness is a feature.

Sure, got your point, but unlike the EF 50 F1.4, they all has great built quality and has great optical performance wide open, and also balance very well on a camera, yeah, especially the sigma, balance great on my 1DS3. If compactness is "your future", there is mirror-less out there available, the new Sigma 50 1.4 Art lens is not going to be a "compact" lens either and I am glad is not, and I will put in my order as soon as I can.
