Canon Canada: Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Lens $299.99

This deal has expired!

If you recently picked up a digital SLR this Christmas and are now looking for lenses, the Canon eStore has a really good deal on the 50mm f/1.4 you might want to check out. For a limited time, you can pick up the 50mm f/1.4 USM Lens and a 16GB memory card for $299.99 -- down from $459.99 and a nice upgrade to those who are currently sporting the 50mm f/1.8. Despite the 50mm f/1.8 being much more affordable at $100, the build quality and performance of the 50mm f/1.4 make it a much more desired piece of camera equipment.

Normally, you're looking to pay around $450 this side of the border and to import from the US will cost you shipping, taxes and potentially duty. Here, though, shipping is free and no duties will be charged as it's shipping from within Canada. Add to that the free 16GB memory card and you've got a sweet deal on a well built lens.

Shipping is free and the deal is on for a limited time only. Quantities are limited.

Thanks to xraykid for sharing this one with us!

- Wow, that's a great deal... thank you for sharing!
- pompoco
- sweet price... hmmm keep my 50/1.8MK1 or sell it and get this one?... tempting
  EDIT; after a quick check for my local ME... PM brings it down to $274 + the 16Gb card... great enough deal to go and git'r
- umadbrah
- Very very tempting! If I do get this, I'll have to get rid of my 40mm pancake f2.8
  
  EDIT: just bit the bullet. Too bad I didn't see this earlier so i could PM at memoryexpress. oh well. This lens can sell easily used for $300, so you won't really be losing anything if you ever decide to upgrade to 1.2L...lol probably not

- Good deal. Hmm, I have to skip. I have to tell myself that I don't need this.
  Not to question your buying decision, but here are 5 reasons you need a 50mm lens

- For those who PM MemoryExpress which SD card did you add? I can tell its a 16gb class 6 but I can't tell what brand from Canon's website. Thanks.

- I was hoping for a deal on the 100mm 2.8L but alas no deals to be found. This will have to do.

- Will ME PM Boxing Day sales?
  
  What's the chance of it going though?
- xawaisx
- Must resist. I was reading reviews for this and the Sigma 30mm f1.4 for crop sensor camera. I am leaning towards sigma but this price is very tempting.

  I have both the new STM 40mm pancake and the 50mm f1.4. For me, the 40mm is way sharper at f2.8, and it only becomes close at f5.6ish. The new STM is a really great value, and pairs well with the T4i.
  
  The 50mm f1.4 is still a great lens, and does help in extreme low light situations, so long as your subject is in the middle of your frame.

  So I should keep both?

  i highly doubt you should. a lens is a tools and if you have too many, you begin to spend all your time and effort dealing with them than taking photos.

  I have had my 50mm for a long time, but recently got a T4i so I wanted to try a STM lens. For me, I probably wouldn't have bothered getting this 50mm if I had already purchased the 40mm, unless low light photography is something you plan to do a lot.
  
  That being said, my f1.4 50mm was a bit disappointing as an upgrade from my cheap f1.8, which is probably the absolute best bang for your buck Canon lens. I was really surprised how soft it (the f1.4) was below f2.8. That is why I'm so pleased with the 40mm - it's tack sharp though out. In other words, I'm slightly biased against the f1.4, but not enough to part with it.
  
  My advice is to try both and keep whichever you prefer, unless (like me) you shoot often in low light. If you do, keep both.

  Actually I did the same, I sold my used one for $400 last year.
