I remember trying the 50mm/f1.4 many years back and finding it a bit soft and hearing that's normal. Is that still the case?

Personally I pass on them both and go for the manual focus vintage Canon nFD 50mm f/1.4. The nFD is sharper than the EF 1.4, and has even nicer rendering. You can scoop up a nice condition nFD 50mm f/1.4 for $80-$100 and an adapter for another $20. Keep in mind though, the nFD can only be adapted to mirrorless bodies.
length 135mm f2 together with the 6D).
The 50mm 1.4 is a different story, I hate it so much because its focusing issue and end up selling it at a loss. Now I'm using the 50mm sigma art, far better lens imo. For traveling, I use the lightweight 40mm 2.8 pancake lens.
However, the link works and I agree this is a stellar deal at $180.
I have R5 with
EF: 50 1.4, 17-40L, 24-105L, 70-200 2.8 IS L (mk 1), 100 macro
RF: 100-400 and 35 f/1.8 ($300 refurb), arriving today.
I use the 70-200 most of the time, for sports, events and occasionally portraits. It's certainly showing its age though and I'm tempted to replace it with the much smaller/lighter RF version.
This is sure tempting though and gives me more than an extra stop at low-light.. and I presume much sharper than my 70-200.
Oh... and someone may be giving(!) me an EF 50mm 1.2L soon. If I had that, I don't imagine I'd use the 85mm much.
