I and many others have found the 50 f/1.4 to have inconsistent AF, hard to microadjust. Bokeh isn't so great either. The 5D3 AF does manage it better than other bodies, but you need to perhaps take a little extra care getting focus when using it.

In addition to the focus issue, I saw that at the f1.4 end, it's real soft. Better at f2.0, great at f2.8. I need the f1.4 aperture, though. I guess that's why you pay for 'L'!

This is the first I've heard of AF steps. Can you go into more detail? Although I think I get the gist. Anthony | Flickr

As you surmised, it is the steps within which the AF mechanism can adjust focus. For example, the 85L has almost eight times more steps within which it can adjust focus. Not knocking the lens, I have one, it's just recognizing it's characteristics when using it and knowing the frustration factor it may carry. As I said before, the 5D3 does a better job of handling the lens, but there are physical limits to the possible.
