Re: 50mm f1.4 not wide enough on 60D, ideas??

I had the same experience when I bought a 50mm canon prime for my 50D. At that time I didn't understand crop factors, and was thus disappointed with the results.

I then bought 30mm 1.4 Sigma, which gave me precisely what I wanted. It's equivalent to 50mm f/2 on full frame.

IN summary it's a fast "normal" prime lens for APS, which sounds like what you want.
