  • Lens probably better than this photographer
Update: The pictures didn't get uploaded the first time. Also, pictures got swapped, first one is AF and second is MF. I've dabbled in photography on and off during my life, starting with helping my father develop and enlarge B&W photos back in the 1950s and 1960s. Although I have a reasonably good technical understanding of photos, my artistic ability leaves a lot to be desired. I recently bought a used Nikon d3400 to play around with (somewhat) more recent technology. The camera came with a Nikon 18-55mm kit lens, and I also bought a renewed Nikon 55-200 lens. I wanted to try a prime lens and found this Yongnuo 55mm f1.8 with mostly good reviews and a very reasonable price. The build quality looks good for the price and the lens feels solid. I wanted to test the bokeh effect of the lens and took the attached pictures of a cat tree. The rope in the pictures was 48" from the camera image plane, the scratching post is 5" behind the rope, and the corner of the room was 5" behind the scratching post. I used the "A" mode (aperture preferred) mode of the d3400 set to f1.8 for both pictures. The first picture was taken with manual focusing on the rope and the second used auto-focus on the scratching post. To minimize the results of me trying to eyeball the focus, I used the HDMI output of the d3400 connected to a 40" TV located next to the cat tree. The resulting pictures are better than I expected. However, the depth of field of the lens at f1.8 appears to be quite short and I'm not sure that I could have focused it properly without using the TV. The auto-focus also had some problems, likely due to the short DOF. I found these issues less of a problem at f3.5. Several reviewers seemed surprised that an inexpensive lens like this has a DOF scale on it. I didn't find it very useful, however, because it's small and is only marked for f11. It would be much more useful for lower f stops. Also, when I first started in photography, most cameras (except point-and-shoot) ones had much better DOF scales. ... show more

  • Yongnuo 50mm for DX Portraits
I shoot a Nikon D5300 a DX camera with a cropped sensor. Not a fan of zooms. Never was. My main glass for the D5300 is the Nikon 35 1,8. This is a "nifty fifty" on FX, 70mm on a crop.I have a rarely-used Rokenon 85 f 1.4 for portraits. Dreamy, great bokeh, but large, heavy, and manual focus. Its 130ish focal length requires a lot of space. I've been tempred to get the Nikon 50mm but couldn't justify the cost for an occasional use portrait lens for an amateur. Also, 50mm is a 70mm on a crop, kimda an odd focal length. Too short for traditional portrait, too long for general use. However, less than $70 for an F mount autofocus prime? Sure. Why not? I shot for a day, and here are my thoughts. It's not bad, worth the money. If you shoot primes on FX and are a 50mm shooter, and that's your main lens, spring for the Nikon. It's still a bargain and a great 50. It is visibly sharper at wider apertures and contrastier (evident on several comprisons I've seen on the web). The Nikon contans an expensive aspherical element, a more sophisticated optical formulation, a quieter silent wave motor; it's just a better lens all the way round. It doesn't make sense to spring for an FX Nikon and buy cheap glass. And Nikon charges a fair price for it. That said, the Yongnuo is certainly good enough to be your main FX prime. For an inexpensive ancillary occasional use portrait prime on a DX camera, however, I was impressed with the Yongnuo. It's a bit soft wide open, which is better for portraiture, actually. It sharpens up fine stopped down a couple stops. I encountered no issues with autofocus hunting in ambient light, no issues with the camera not recognizing the lens. It renders pleasing bokeh. The oddball 70mm focal length I found quite suitable for environmental candids in ambient light. Build quality is surprisingly good with gold plated contacts, 7 bladed aperture, and metal gasket. About as good as other consumer grade primes. Even has a distance scale (yay!). I'm satisfied with this purchase. It might not be a world beater but consider it an excellent value for its intended purpose on a DX Nikon. For FX, however, I'd recommend getting the Nikon 50. EDIT: The more I've used this lens, the more I like it. You simply can't beat it for the price. I've encountered no issues with its autofocus, it renders pleading images. Solid lens. It's almost a shocking value. ... show more

  • Great for the price!
Honestly for the price you're not gonna do much better. I was recently putting together a kit for traveling that needed to be both cheap and versatile (traveling in a sketchy area, I didn't want one of my good cameras to get stolen or damaged). I ended up pairing a used D3200 body with this little nifty fifty. Great pairing, great results. I also got an older used 55-200mm kit, and an Amazon Basics flash and had a good, versatile walking around kit for just around $200 even. I was hesitant about a Yongnuo lens, though I have other products by that and they're pretty decent. Was really surprised at the quality. The focusing is kinda slow and the edges are a bit soft, but it does the job. Great for street photography. Definitely worth the price. ... show more

  • A good budget lens for the price
Starting out I did not want to put out a lot of money for a 50mm lens on a low budget. I conducted a lot of research looking at others reviews, and decided to purchase the Yunguno 50mm lens. To my surprise this was a pretty good lens at just under a hundred dollars. It worked well on my Nikon D3500 camera. I like the the fact it has a metal attachment ring and although almost all plastic, felt solidly built in my hand. The auto focus is a titch slower than a Nikon lens but not that bad or noisy. If you use this lens to capture movement or action when I tested it, a likely probability of missing a few shots. Overall the lens produced some sharp quality pictures during the day to twilight when compared to a Nikon lens. Where Nikon out performs the Younguno lens is in the evening when turning dark. The Youngnuo lens has some difficulties auto focusing in low light. I'm not an expert on lenses, but If your looking for a good lens that will take some quality pictures, and not a professional, I'd recommend this lens. ... show more
