YONGNUOYN 50mm F/1.8 AF/MF Large Aperture Auto Focus Lens for Canon EF Mount EOS Camer

Before purchasing this lens I have seen some not very good image samples taken using this lens, but I thought it's so cheap it's worth the risk. Have to say this lens isn't just good for the price, it's a good lens period. Really surprised how sharp the images are. I am a professional photographer with my own company and I have a bag of L series lenses, so I need a rely on sharp images so I didn't think I would use this for my studio work. But I have and in a studio environment it is equally as good. I have read about people saying that the motor is really loud. I don't think this is the case, I wouldn't use it for video work if you are going to use auto focus, but people forget how much this lens is. Definitely would buy from these guys and the lens it's self is worth every penny.

Fantastic little lens, can't distinguish if from Canon's own older 50mm in most shots. Good price and a seven blade aperture too for rounder bokeh.Plastic but at this price, who cares. The Glass is good and you'll most likely enjoy using it. If you're a protog then you may shy away from this in favour of more expensive options but I'd still say pick this up as a fun project to try out - compared to most lens prices this thing is practically pocket money. You may like it even if you prefer your Canon for the paid shoots.DSLR Beginners, this is a great opportunity to pick up a 50mm prime cheaply for your own experimentation. You can and most likely will get more len's later on so why not start with a cheap but good one and build your way up?If you're a video shooter I'd avoid this as it sounds like C3P0 attempting to dance. Very noisy. You could manually focus if you want but there are better video lens' out there that allow for that.

As a photographer I always try our different lenses and products that give me the best value for money and quality for a lower price as lenses aren't cheap these days. This is when I spotted this nice 50mm for around £40 compared to canon's price of £100 for their 50mm.But you can see why there is such a price difference. This 50mm is fantastic for the price, the images are sharp, crisp and have brilliant colour and the autofocus is brilliant, even though it is a bit loud but personally I'm not bothered by it. However, as someone who enjoys experimenting with astrophotography and uses manual focus alot, I found it to fall in this area. I thought the lens would be fantastic for picking up the stars due to its F/1.8 and I was correct, it does pick them out very well, just not sharp as the focus ring is very restricted unlike the official canon variant which can be focused to any point. For me it's the only issue hence the 4 stars.If you're in need of a lens for a low price which will give you a fast autofocus, crisp image and great value for money then look no further. Just don't use it for astrophotography as it won't focus on the stars and you'll end up with a blurry photo.

Many people I know go on about 50mm lens and for good reason. The Aperture in theory on these things is amazing and can get great bokeh with them so with this lens been so cheap thought I'd give it a try.First off it comes very well protected, both the front and back part of the lens have plastic that needs removing, I didn't see the back at first and my shots were coming out dreadful, realized it and thought ah now for some proper shooting. It didn't happen, in Manual focusing it's fine, in Auto it's horrible. When I was taking shots in auto focus beeped as it does and the shots were way out on focus, you can even see them in camera that they not right. So it's guesswork you have to slightly ignore auto focus if that's what you want to be on and experience of the lens will help where to get pin sharp shots.The vendor was very good as I sent photos saying I would keep the lens if a few quid was knocked off and they agreed.It could just be my lens, but I have seen many with the same issues on Youtube who have had similar experience. However if you know where it's flaws are you can still get decent shots, these are some of mine https://www.flickr.com/photos/thenbman/albums/72157660094572444 the 1.8 lens is effective in Manual.

Thèse images where taken with the purchased Lens, No editing required either! I’m only a beginners on Cameras but I love quality and sharp images and I definitely deemed to think this lens is definitely worth it for its money! Gréât purchase, great product! Thank you!

I have a canon that I use on the 18/400 zoom but needed a second lens for convenience and flash photography.This 50mm RF lens is very reasonly affordable and will do its job.I have Sony gear but fount the converter to slow to focus {canon to Sony} The canon will never replace my Sony but works well so handy for the 18/400 / 24/600 in reality as the canon is a crop sensor camera . of 1.6.

Don't have a huge collection of lenses, other than this I have a Canon 17-85mm & 75-300mm. I've been using this lens for 4 or 5 months and it's become my favourite. Yes it's a prime lens, no it doesn't zoom but that's okay as a human being you are able to move anywhere! This lens got me thinking much more about my composition because of this, rather than fiddling with a zoom to find the shot I want. The thing that I LOVE about this lens is how this lens makes the subjects pop! It's even good at landscapes too. This is half the price of the canon and maybe the canon AF is better as this one struggles in darker conditions - but put it on MF for best results because you're probably a better judge at what you want in focus than your camera.I love this lens, it's now my default lens that stays on the camera... would recommend it to anybody.For reference these were shot on a Canon 100D
