Question about the 50mm: Is it bad to turn the focus ring when your on AF? just in case it focuses on the wrong thing and I want to adjust it a little bit . . . No problem, with the 50 1.4 you can focus manually at any time. It's called FTM (Full Time Manual). It is standard in all USM lenses but 1.4 has it too although it is Micro-USM.

Canon's official explanation is that you get full-time manual focussing in any EF lens that has a focussing scale on it. Reference: Canon "EF Lens Work III" Guide Book. Jon

I've never read that, but it makes sense now because I've noticed when I accidentally turn the 1.4 it doesn't make that grinding noise. I like the fact that you can leave it on auto-focus all the time! I hate having to make sure a lens is on auto before using it; inevitably you forget.
