The 50mm CFI is a great lens. In fact, so is the 50mm CF and you can pick up one of these at an excellent price. If cost is a major factor, I would go with the CF. You will not be sacrificing quality, just saving money.

There are two versions of the CF 50 mm lens: the FLE lens that is optically the same as the CFi, and the older non-FLE which is the same optical design as the old C lens.

Given a choice, get the FLE one.
Else, the non-FLE still is a good lens you don't have to worry about.

Thanks QG. I did not realize there was a non-FLE version of the 50mm CF.
