YONGNUOYN35 mm Lens for Canon Camera DSLR

Works on a Canon 300x film camera. Seems well made (plastic, but not too cheap, certainly seems better than the EF 28-90 III that came with the camera). Will update when photos are developed.Update: I bought it for a film camera, but I have recently been able to try it with a Canon digital body, unfortunately only the Digital Rebel XT (350d). I compared it to the 28-70 f/2.8L USM at 35 mm and my kit lens the 28-90 as above. Also, the Canon 50 mm f/1.8 was there too, but I didn't compare images due to the different focal length.Build quality wise it is very similar to the Canon 50 mm f/1.8. It is plastic, but feels better than my kit lens. It is quick to focus and produce decent, but not amazing images.Image quality wise, at f/8 the L lens obviously beats it, but I can't see much of a difference between the Yongnuo and the kit lens (the Canon 28-90 has more chromatic aberration, I think). At f/2.8 and f/4 the Yongnuo does not do so well. The kit lens beats the Yongnuo at f/4.So advantages of the Yongnuo:2 stops faster than the 28-90As good, perhaps better at f/8Advantages of the kit lens:ZoomBetter wide open (at f/4)These images were taken all at 35 mm. It is not scientific (the test chart is awful and awfully positioned), just thrown together without much care (after all I bought it a year ago so the deed is done). Also, the printer printed the test chart with pink.Would I buy a Yongnuo again? If starting out and I didn't have a kit lens and I wanted something cheap, yes, if I had a kit lens, then possibly yes, may be no depending on how I was feeling. I do like the fact it is f/2.8 and although in bright light you can see the images are slightly soft, in lower light, at least it has the aperture advantage and that two stop difference (compared to an f/4 lens) will translate to either 2 stop lower ISO or 2 stop faster shutter speed, which can only be a good thing.

I'm so pleased with this lens, image quality is very good and it's fantastic value for money. Highly recommended!

It costs under a hundred pounds... And it is full frame, autofocus, and bright, f2.. So, don't wait, for sharp results.. Nice bokeh, and bright, really bright... That's the four stars for.. no crispy images but not extremely bad. It can deliver some great images if you know how to take advantage of the its pros..short focus distance, really bright, full frame form ;)

This is a really excellent lens for the money, indeed it is pretty good regardless of the price. It has a solid feel to it, and the metal back seems substantial. Comparing it with the Canon 50mm f 1.8, which I also have, it feels slightly more solid, I have been trying some comparative tests, not on a scientific basis, because they were all hand held, the results show the Yongnuo at least as good as the Canon, that is in some pairs of subjects the Canon was sharper and in others the Yongnuo, the slight difference being fairly obviously due to slight camera shake - neither lens having any anti-shake system, (and the Yongnuo does not really need one if you are careful).. The tests were carried out on my Canon 60D, and showed the Yongnuo easily capable of providing images that will print to A3 or A3+ size..and appear properly sharp. . I Recommend it .

Ok i have said its ok . Its definition is fine F2 much softer. Its light and compact and turns my canon 700D into a big compact great for cycling.could use as holiday lens ok. No petel lens hood bayonet only filter screw fit. Now it has one failing. i originally bought one from Ebay chinaman and found front section of lens wobbles about by a few MM. its ok if you dontfront of lens but could easily do bu Man Foc. If you look at pict in live view you can see pict moving about as you bias front of lens one way then the other. i have put on firm Tpod and taken picts with other cam looking direct at lens and got picts showing this shift. if you open two picts in layer then open shut layer eye you see the sideways jump. One wonders that it has no seal at front of lens so dirt may enter. it feels really naf when you handle lens especially as you put cam into a bag eg.I contacted Yongo they just said get exchange not a lot of help really . Its not worth doing that they must all have tis problem to some degree.I think yong will eventually make good lenses but need to heed feedback. Will try to attch two picts showing shift.Yongnuo YN35mm F2 Lens 1:2 AF / MF Wide-Angle Fixed / Prime Auto Focus Lens for Canon EF Mount EOS Camera

Great value for money

Lens was scratched and wouldn’t change aperture. Very very noisy autofocus making it point less for video.

I'm lovin it!I was very sceptical at first but after a day of playing with it I cannot be more happy. I think lens is very sharp - as for £70(ish) lens. I compared it with canon 40mm f2.8 and it is not that much far behind. It does deliver pretty sharp pictures even at f/2.0. I love the bokeh it is producing. Zoom is a bit noisy but i do not mind it as I will be using it for studio photography.Just do not use the filter that is included with the lens - it's super bad and it will make your pictures looks awful.
