As an owner of the 50mm f1.4, I highly recommend the 50mm f1.8 STM instead. The 50mm f1.4 is extremely soft wide open, and it performs much the same as the 50mm f1.8 STM when you stop it down. The autofocus system is fragile (check it out on Google, it doesn't take much of a bump to kill the lens), and you're better off putting the cash towards the STM and using the saved money on something else such as....
Macro equipment! Get some extension tubes which will allow her to put the 50mm lens further away from the camera and giving her macro capabilities with autofocus and aperture control.
Yeah, it's the lens. You need to be able to get close enough to the film to fill the image on your DSLR with the film. A macro lens is ideal for this... but if you want to do it on a budget, get an extension tube for your 50mm lens. An extension tube is an "adapter" that goes between the lens and the camera, and allows the lens to focus much closer. For your lens and camera, you probably need about a 25mm extension tube to get to 0.66x, which is the right amount of magnification for your camera and 35mm film. If you want genuine Canon, you can get a used Canon EF-25 (25mm) on ebay for about $42, or if you don't mind aftermarket, get a whole set of Chinese tubes for $26.
Thanks guys. Ya, I don't need manual focus, but I do need to control my aperture.
The Kenko set seems like the best one, but it's kind of expensive at $250 and is more than I was hoping to spend.
