My 50 f/1.4 has trouble focusing in Servo mode and it seems to have problems tracking the moving objects. I'm thinking about getting a 50 STM but not sure if it performs better in Servo mode.

Also, I'm confused about the results reported in this thread, some say 50 f/1.4 is faster but some say 50 STM is faster.

p.s I'm using M5

I only tried the 50 STM for about five minutes. Didn´t think it was faster, but maybe not slower either.

The more time i spend shooting with fast ef lenses, 50 1.8, 85 1.8 and 135 2, the more i like them over the native lenses (of course except for the size) may need to put the 1.4 back on and play a bit loving fast primes on the M5.
