## Description

desertcart.com : YONGNUO YN50mm F1.8 Lens Large Aperture Auto Focus Lens Compatible with Canon EF Mount EOS Camera : Electronics

Review: Best budget lens for portraits - I bought this Yongnuo 50mm because I wanted to try out that blurry background look without spending a fortune on Canon glass, and it really delivered. For such a cheap lens, the images are surprisingly sharp, especially if you stop it down just a little bit. The autofocus is definitely on the noisy side and it can hunt around a bit in low light, so I wouldn't recommend it for weddings or anything where you need to be super quiet, but for casual shots of my friends it’s been fantastic. It feels very light and plastic-y in the hand, almost like a toy, but the results you get for the price are hard to beat if you're just starting out with prime lenses.
Review: Just as good as namebrand but cheaper - I'll admit, I was a little wary of getting an off brand lens but reviews made me go for it. This is nearly 100 bucks cheaper than Canon, but just as good. When you're not used to a prime lens it does take some getting used to. The picture of the black floppy eared was my first picture with this lens about six months ago, you can see it's a little off focus of the eyes. Completely human error. The other pictures are my latest and once you get the hang of it, this lens is amazing. I know it's usually recommended as a portrait lens but it works just as well for action shots (and I shoot dogs, so 85% of mine are action). It blurs and bokehs the background SO beautifully. That third image of my dog running would not be so focused on him, he'd probably be blurry if I had been using my original lens. The other pictures are to show how well the lens focuses on the subject, even with twigs or trees in front, they're beautifully blurred and the subject stands out. This is my go-to lens for sure.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how sharp is it? compared to the canon glass? that is my big worry I love the price point but how is the edges and sharpness**
A: I bought this lens because I thought I my Canon lens had been stolen, but it turned up. Now I have both. I did a comparison, shooting the same scene using a tripod. I looked closely at the two photos in Photoshop. The sharpness was identical. Chromatic aberrations, which weren't bad, were the same. The only difference was that the Yongnuo was brighter even though the exposure settings were the same. I'd say half a stop brighter. So you could use the same aperture as the Canon but use a slightly higher shutter speed or lower your ISO. It's a great alternative to the Canon.

**Q: Is this compatible with canon t6i?**
A: yes,it works with.

**Q: Will this fit a Canon Rebel T5?**
A: Yes this lens works on all 3 of my cameras: Rebel XT, T5 and 7D mk2

**Q: will this mount on canon t3?**
A: Yes, it is compatible with Canon T3.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Decent Alternative... Though might as well get the Canon
*by A***N on May 1, 2020*

Before buying the Yongnuo lens I would heavily consider what you may be using this lens for. In general, for portraits, the image quality is pretty great. I am of course always comparing this knockoff lens to the original Canon 50mm. So for purely taking photos, this lens might not be a bad idea although the autofocus doesn't get quite as sharp as the original Canon nifty fifty. One of the main differences which I just mentioned is, of course, the lens's ability to autofocus. It can be a little slower than the Canon and a little bit softer in some places. The other distinction which can be quite significant is the autofocus motor is very loud. The canon, on the other hand, is nearly silent. It's also an STM lens which means the autofocus is quick and quiet. So if you are considering using this lens at all for video, I would highly recommend against it as you will likely hear it in your footage (even using an external mic I was able to catch glimpses of the motor). So buy with caution! The lens does work just fine and it's a good lens that bears heavy similarities with the original Canon. Of course, what makes the Yongnuo enticing is the pricepoint! It's about half the price of the original Canon lens. My response to this is that you will likely own any lens you purchase FOR LIFE. It will last you years and years and years. And in the grand scheme of time wouldn't you rather spend the extra 50 bucks for something that is of higher quality? I know I certainly would. We're not talking about hundreds of dollars more we're talking fifty dollars or so more. I'm sure you can buy it used on ebay for even less. With that said, the Yongnuo is a decent comparison for PORTRAITS. For video, just beware that the motor is considerably quite loud. So the lens certainly works as prescribed and the image quality is quite comparable to the Canon however there are a few stark differences that set it apart from the original. Food for thought!
