YN50mm F1.8N Standard Prime Lens AF for Nikon F-Mount DSLR Cameras | Large Aperture,full frame and APSC, Auto Focus and Manual Focus

I came across this lens while doing some general browsing for Nikkor and Tamron lenses, and honestly could not believe the price when I first saw it. I figured it had to be some cheap plastic garbage for a toy camera, but then saw the lens had almost a full 5/5 stars with a good number of reviews, so I became intrigued. I looked through most of the reviews and some sample photos and decided to take a chance. With the price of lenses these days, the deal on a prime 50mm was just too good to pass up. I received the lens and was impressed right out of the gate. Rather than some cheap plastic piece of junk, the lens had a nice weight to it, felt well built, had clear class, and even came with some features you wouldn't expect on a $60 lens like a focus meter. I have some $300-400 lenses that don't even have that feature so it was a huge surprise.When I took the lens out of the box I immediately put it on my D3400 just to figure out the quirks. One drawback I will admit right away is that the auto-focus motor is incredibly loud, so this most likely will not be great for video with all that noise in the background, which is a real shame because I found the video quality to be really solid for such a bargain lens. Honestly that was really my only complain, other than the AF being just a bit slow, but in all honesty if you are shooting with a 50mm prime you most likely aren't needing it for action shots. I carried this lens with me for 3 weeks and shot with nothing else, just to get a good feel for it, and got a really good group of photos. I've posted a few examples just so you can get an idea of how well the lens works. None of the images are post processed. The lens is sharp at F4 and above, and is amazing in low light situations. I even found it serviceable for night sky shots in northern Georgia(near Atlanta) where the light pollution is pretty awful. The 1.8 aperture lets in a ton of light. The biggest surprise though was how well this lens performs even at slow shutter speeds without a tripod. I posted a shot above with a smooth effect on a waterfall and that was taken at about 1/3rd of a second while standing on some rocks with water rushing by me on the other side. Shooting more open, you will get a nice background blur and some decent bokeh. I found this lens comparable to the 35mm prime Nikkor lens I have in terms of image quality, the Nikkor just beats it out by being a brand name and has a much quieter and faster autofocus, but it also cost me over $180 used in good condition.Having shot with this lens now for a few weeks, it is certainly staying in my camera bag as I've found it to be a great lens and it has even made me consider checking out their 35mm prime, which is a bit more expensive, but I was super impressed with the quality of the Yungnuo right out of the box and it hasn't let me down yet. It takes sharp, crisp, photos, and whether you are just starting out with photography and bought your first DSLR, or you are a more seasoned photographer that is looking to pick up a prime lens to round out your collection, you really can't go wrong with this lens. At its current price point, for the quality of images it is capable of shooting...it's an absolute steal! Check out the video review I did on this lens, along with the still images.

Things that I liked about this 50mm f1.8 lens:Is it cheap? YesDid I like f1.8 for less money than a 18-55mm f 5.6 at 50mm on DX format?Metal mount? Yes, it fits perfectly.Does it expose consistently well? YesDoes it autofocus well on my D3400, D7000, D810, and even on my D500 and N80 cameras? YesDid I like that it autofocuses on a D40, D60, D3xxx, D5xxx camera without the in-body AF motor? Yes.Faster AF than Nikon -D lenses? Yes.Quiter the AF-D lenses? Yes.Runs OK at 10 fps? YesDoes it feels like a Cannon lens? Yes, Nikon? Maybe.Did I removed the blue plastic (front and back) lens protector plastic so I can get normal colored pictures? YesDid I put a good Hoya filter in from of it? Yes.Did I run it against the 50mm 1.4f AF-D, the Sigma 18-200 OS, the Nikon 28-300mm, the Nikon AF-P 18-55, the Nikon AF-SII 18-55 and did not see much difference at the same aperture? Yes. Was there much difference? No.Did I see any more glare than the Nikon lenses? NODid I like the bouquet? YesIs it sharp? Yes, (at least were it matters on 80% of the center of the frame).Did I say... Is it cheap? Yes.. LOL.What I did not like:- No weather seal.- Focus scale moves the oposite than the focus ring.- No manual focus override while in autofocus. You have to use a switch like the old lenses.- No VR, but f1.8 is waaayyyy faster than f5.6 on a DX 18-55mm..- Filter thread size is 58mm not 52mm as listed.So, you do the math. For me, and for non-critical work were you are not going to print mural size prints. I think it is worth the try.Time will tel how long it will last.Happy shooting!

First off I am a photographer by hobby and I don't know all the bells and whistles (still learning and having fun) but I do know that this YONGNUO YN 50mm F1.8N is a beautiful lens.It costs a fraction of the competitors and it is still well built and solid and not 'cheap' looking at all.Love the weight and it works great with my old school Nikon N 65.It has AF and MF options and again, I'm not a professional but I don't hear the noise or the lens being loud.I am super impressed and for the price, I may even look into more lenes from YONGNUO.And I received it a day early too!Note: the red in the photos is reflecting off the red background.

Received this lens in excellent, sturdy packaging, clearly a quality oriented company. All the features look first rate, not cheap or unfinished. Proof is in the pudding, and I'm quite pleased with the image quality I'm getting. I'm predicting that once word gets out on this brand, prices will increase, and not due to tariffs.

I did a test on this lens before I made this review.I really recommnend this lens.Pros:Autofocus: 85% of the time can do the job its faster compare to other nikon lens that I have.Sharpness: This lens is very sharp I dont see difference on other nikon lens actually its sharper on some point.At 2.8F this is the sweet spot for portrait on this lens.Built: Built is very acceptable. Even its made on plastic this is still a solid lens for this price point.Plus points: This lens have a modern coating. You gonna love the skin tone and contrast out from this lens.Cons:* i agree on other reviews that this lens is little bit more high on highlights which you can control depends on the settings that have in your camera. But if you are shooting using a raw file and love to do post processing its not gonna be problem. it can easily adjust using photo editing software.*Aperture from 1.8 to 2.5 is very soft. But this normal also on some brand lens out there.This is my honest review on this lens. This lens is superb on this price point. Not to bulky easy to carry around have avery sharp image, modern looking lens and most important it can do the job. If you are on the budget this lens is a must have. Still a lot people going to say bad about this lens but I am going to tell you that they just can't just accept the truth that this lens is very competitive to their expensive lens .

Wasn’t expecting too much from this but so far this for $100. The auto focus on here works very well and through 2 family events pictures it still works well.Shooting on a Nikon D80

I’ve recently started an account for car photography and only had the typical kit lens for my Nikon D3200. This has made a MASSIVE difference for interior and close up shots (even standard full frame shots). With the low aperture and 50mm focal length, it’s perfect for said application. Color comes through great, super sharp at the 24 megapixels of the 3200, and with the right shutter speed, even rolling shots are great on it. Would 100% recommend for photographers on a budget, or want to try without breaking the bank. Yes, lenses from Sigma, Olympus and the likes will have quieter and faster autofocus. (Which this one is fairly loud) But for the price, it is a great buy!

I got this lens awhile back, and all i can say, say your 60 dollars and just get the Nikon 50 mm. Its a great lens, the photos come out nice, but sometimes very blurry, not sharp enough. It takes forever to focus, and not come out with the face out of focus. The focus is not good at all, it never focuses on what you want it too. Now I have a D3400, not the best but I think if you want a 50 mm, don't get this one. Just a waste, did alot of photoshoots that came out not my best work. But some photos were really nice, just not as sharp. So seriously save your 60 bucks, and just get the Nikon 50 mm, sharper images, even though not the money you wanna pay but, your camera, and work with thank you later.

Buena calidad de lente, excelente

uso na nikon d5100 e nikon d5300. uma lente muito boa, vale super a pena!

Estoy contentísima con este objetivo. Tenía ganas de utilizar un 50mm pero tampoco quería gastarme un dineral en algo que no sabía si le iba a saber sacar partido, ya que estoy empezando en la fotografía. Tras leer las buenas reseñas del Yongnuo me decidí a comprarlo, y la verdad es que no pudo ser mejor idea.Considero que este objetivo tiene una calidad-precio excelente. Está claro que los materiales con los que está hecho no son de alta gama, pero en mi caso es algo que tampoco me importa demasiado. También tiene enfoque automático, algo que iba buscando y que muchas otras opciones de 50mm para Nikon no tienen. Algunos usuarios dicen que es ruidoso. Yo considero que hace un ruido bastante normal, nada escandaloso. Hay que tener cuidado con los plásticos azules que trae para proteger la lente, ya que están muy bien pegados y puede parecer que no hay nada, ¡y salga todo con un filtro azul! También decir que este objetivo funciona perfectamente en una Nikon D3000, un modelo ya un poco antiguo.Os dejo un par de fotos que hice hace unos días. No soy profesional, pero espero que os sirvan de guía para tomar una decisión. Para mí, 10/10.

Ürün gerçekten inanılmaz! Fotoğrafını çektiğim arkadaşlar hayran kaldı. İmkan olursa 35 mm olanını da alacağım.

Das Objektiv ist vom Anschaffungspreis billig und lässt vielleicht den ein oder anderen zweifeln, ob die Qualität so gut ist. Ich kann sagen, die Qualität ist der Hammer und ich bin einfach nur angetan von diesem Objektiv. Es macht klasse Aufnahmen und ist auf einer Vollformatkamera 1a scharf. In meinen Augen ist es besser als das 50mm f1,8 von Nikon. Natürlich kommt es jetzt nicht an das Tokina 50mm f1,4 von der Schärfe und der Bildqualität heran, dafür kostet dieses aber auch fast das 11 fache.Rund um ein geiles Objektiv
