The Canon 50mm f/1.4 is only 2.9” around and weighs in at 290g. The 50L is both shorter and lighter than the new Sigma ART’s 3.93” and 815g or the Zeiss Otus’s 5.66” length and 1030g weight. It has a useful minimum focus distance of .45m/1.5 feet, and an average/pedestrian .15x magnification.
The Canon is a known coma machine (it's so bad it can be seen clearly in the APS-C frame wide open). The Sigma is better but not by much (again, per Lenstip's results). At least the Sigma has less vignetting (though still a lot in absolute terms).

The EF50mm f/1.4 USM is a consumer- and professional-level lens. It is the least expensive f /1.4 aperture lens that Canon currently manufactures. It is constructed with a plastic body and a metal mount.
Verdict. The Canon EF 24mm f/1.4 USM L II gave us some mixed feelings during the tests. If you use it at its sweet settings - that's between f/4 and f/8 - the lens will be about as good as it gets for a lens in this class. It's extremely sharp here and there's no significant vignetting to speak of. Lateral CAs are also no serious problem and- Есоտեшըнт աзв яμаշецаቇер
