Till now quite pleased I got this lens:
Compared to the old 50mmf1.8 this lens surely gained some weight, however that's not bad at all since build quality is ways better, the mount is now metal, it feels more solid.
As for the focus here you have major changes.
Focus is now silent, faster, for video it has very smooth operation, it's not as fast as ring USM but no real difference in real life use.
Manual focus works by wire now, not that bad especially the lens retracts itself spontaneously when you turn off the camera.
Optically can't comment yet but wide open it seemed more contrasty than 50mm f1.4 at f1.4, will do a comparo this weekend
