Yongnuo YN50MM F1.8 II AF/MF 0.35M Focus Distance Standard Prime Lens Black for Canon EF Mount EOS Cameras 5D IV 1DX I 200D II 850D 7D 6DII

Love this lens, affordable and it works better than the Canon 1.8 50mm.It has better sharpenes than the Canon lens. I highly recommend this lens not only for its friendly price but also because of its quality.

Fabulous lens. The immense detail. It drastically leveled up my old Canon Rebel T4i; I got some incredible shots with it. Here are some photos I took with the rebel t4i using the Yongnuo YN50MM, (I had to crop the face due to privacy reasons)

I was on the fence about an offshore lens. Then I came to my senses- everything's imported these days. I compared it to the Canon 50mm f/1.8 STM, which runs under $200 new, around $120 used. The Yongnuo came in well under that- real value for the money- and I opted for the upgraded metal-mount version.Glad I did. This lens is a genuine sleeper. Fantastic image quality, even on an aging T2i- it actually breathed new life into the camera. Fast aperture, right-sized, and handles well with a UV filter and hood attached.Image performance is exactly what I expected: clean subject separation, crisp focus, smooth background blur. I've found myself preferring manual focus over AF- the autofocus is a little slow, though I suspect that's more my T2i capture settings than the lens itself.For context: I shoot mostly lo-fi work- Holga lens, Harinezumi 2+++, Camp Snap Pro, a 1950 Leica III. This 50mm sits in a different lane entirely, and it holds its own. For the price, it's hard to argue with. I'd replace it without hesitation.

It was good, selling, info about item, shipping, even it arrives before estimated date..

I'm no professional photographer, but I've been doing amateur photography for over a decade now. I also rarely do amazon reviews because I rarely am impressed or feel the need. In this case, I am both impressed and feel the need to leave feedback. I am not an employee of Yongnuo, nor was I given anything for this review. I bought this lens with my meager blue collar paycheck.I'm leaving this review because this is one of the best lenses I've ever owned. It's far from the best lens in terms of quality, nor does it have built in IS (image stabilization), so you'll probably be able to tell the difference between this and the highest end Canon CN-E 50mm that retails for $3,000. Yep, $3k for a nifty fifty lens. On the other hand, this lens new runs for what, $70? The performance per dollar spent on this is astronomical.I previously owned the first version of this lens for about a year. I purchased it preowned and sold it when I sold my Canon SL3 to buy a full frame camera (sold the lens because I didn't know which brand's full frame camera I was going to go with). I ended up going with the Canon 5D Mark II. It's slightly older than I wanted but I couldn't pass up the price, less than $400 for a full frame camera that I can install magic lantern on and only had 25K shutter count. I immediately went to purchase another Yongnuo 50mm but discovered there where actually 2 versions, the one I originally had and this version #2. So I bought this and my first experience wasn't a fluke, these lenses are the real deal. This lens does something for the entire photography consumer market; It shows us that there's a huge, MASSIVE markup on lenses. The quality & performance of this lens is virtually identical to the $200-$300 Canon version (my girlfriend has one and I've used it on many occasions) but without the insane markup. Hopefully Yongnuo will keep making lenses if only to provide more competition which will drop the price across products & brands.Drawbacks: This lens is NOT built like a tank, like the high end versions or Canon's own high-end 50mm. It's also not weather sealed nor has any bells or whistles (no IS). Since this lens is so cheap (monetarily), it doesn't really matter that it's not built like a tank, if it breaks it's not going to cause you to sell your car or take out a second mortgage to replace it.

After doing a lot of thinking and watching reviews on YouTube about this lens. I decided to buy it. I'm a amateur photographer and just getting into the field of photography. Not looking to break the bank with all the name brand lens on the market. For the price of this lens, it is budget friendly. The pictures I took of the stars at night was spectacular. Compared to my kit lens that came with the camera. The f1.8 makes it great for night photography.

It’s not bad, but nothing special either. Works fine, but I think there are better options out there.

It's a thrifty option for prime lens that produces great images. The auto-focus is terrible, you will miss more shots as is jumps around trying to find focus. Do yourself a favor and keep it manual mode and you won't be disappointed. It's very light, feels a little loose and is mostly made from plastic. But it takes beautiful pictures so that's that.

I'm a photographer and I can say this lens is awesome ., If you're planning to buy this lens go for it .PSThe only problems with this lens are1) Auto Focus is decent on my canon M50 but if you pan to use on DSLRs it is terrible (if your camera doesn't have dual pixel af ,the Auto Focus this lens is WORSE )..2 years laterThis is my favorite lens in my arsenal .But I wouldn't recommend this at 8k . Back in 2019 I bought this at 4,800 .At 8k I'd recommend you buy Canon's Nifty Fifty 50mm F1.8

Direct na ontvangst in gebruik genomen en zeer tevreden over deze lens. Mooie opnamen met deze 50 mm en geschikt voor veel toepassingen en bij het fotograferen met Bokeh een aanrader.

Me ha sorprendido mucho este objetivo, muy liminoso y con una calidad muy buena en sus fotografias, desenfoque perfecto y muy contento con el la primera optica fija que tengo.

I’m not a professional photographer by a long shot but this makes your photos look pro! Great value alternative to the Canon nifty fifty. I’ve only had it for a couple of days but love it so far!

Ottima rapporto qualità prezzo.. qualità veramente buona. Soddiafatto
