The lack of that RF 50mm f/1.4 is the Achilles heel.....

The EF 50mm f/1.4 took six years to arrive from the beginning of the EF mount,

and Canon never updated it

even though it was Canon's eighth SLR 50mm f/1.4.

So there was an era Canon did updates on 50mm&f/1.4 a long long time ago. How many mounts ago by the way?

According to the Canon online Museum, the first  FL mount version with 5 elements in 4 groups came out in in 1965, the second 6 elements in 5 groups version came in 1966. The 1968 7 elements in 5 groups FL lens had the same basic optical design as the FD versions that came out in 1971, 1973 (1), 1973 (2)  and the 1979 New FD lens.  The 1993 EF lens was basically the same optical design as the FD lenses.
