YONGNUOYN35mm F2 Lens 1:2 AF/MF Wide-Angle Fixed/Prime Auto Focus Lens for Canon EF Mount EOS Camera

I laugh every time I bolt this lens on my Canon R8, I love it. For only a hundred bucks you get a acceptable sharpness lens for social media photo/video, even print work with post production sharpening. The 2.0 aperture is close enough to 1.8 the background blur is good. I wish they made a budget friendly 100mm 2.0, I'd buy it. If you don't typically shoot 35mm HOWEVER you want a 35mm just in case, buy this.Attached image:CanonR8, 35mm, f2, 1/640 sec, ISO 100

As a beginner "photographer", this was a great purchase. It achieves great bokeh shots and is a great landscape lens. As well. Its does a fairly good job at macro shots. If you add the macro extenders with this, even better so.Heads up. The motor within is pretty loud, so not recommended for videos unless you plan to add in separate audio for your videos. But aside from that, especially for a beginner, 5 out of 5.

Impressive image quality for the price so far!SOME BACKGROUND ABOUT MY GEAR/ EXPERIENCE:A little background, if you've read any of my previous reviews (or if you haven't but look at my username) you may know I've spent a significant amount of time reviewing and using different music production and dj equipment from Amazon (hence my username), but also I've spent a long time doing amateur/ hobbyist photography and video production, partly as a supplement to some of my music production interests. I also have a fair amount of experience doing photo editing with Photoshop (since the early 2000s) and other graphic design programs (Illustrator, Corel products, even GIMP, etc), and doing things like party and event flyers and also party/ event pictures. I recently decided to "get more serious" about doing photography, so although I would not describe myself as a total amateur (maybe hobbyist) I recently purchased my own dedicated SLR, instead of using or editing images taken with other people's photography or video gear. I decided to go with the Canon t6 (not the I or S series) just because in terms of budget and affordability I was able to purchase one with the added 75- 300 MM lens on sale during the summer. I hope to upgrade to the 80D, (or possibly 5D Mark iv, or Mark 1D fantasy photography camera lol) in the future, but for now the t6 suits my needs and has an acceptable MP resolution for what I am currently using it for (mostly social media photos, web photos, and some BTS video production photos and stills) with ONE EXCEPTION - I knew that whatever SLR I was going to buy for my needs, I knew that I would immediately need to upgrade beyond the provided kit lenses - please don't think I'm bashing KIT Lenses because I know this can open up a whole photography can of worms argument, but suffice to say while for most basic photos the provided kit lens is fine, I wanted to get some lenses that perform well in low light (at least a maximum aperature at or below f 2.8 , preferably at or below f2) fortunately I was able to get 2 prime lenses that are pretty solid ( the Canon 50 MM f1.4, and the 85 MM f 1.8 Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Standard & Medium Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras - Fixed and Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Medium Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras - Fixed) on sale ( but yes they cost more the Camera body their price combined, the Canon nifty 50 f1.8 is cheaper but wanted the f1.4 's better build quality) and have been looking at buying the Canon 24 MM f2.8 pancake lens Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Lens just to get more of my wide angle bases covered, I have previously been using an Altura wide angle 58MM 0.43x Altura Photo Professional HD Wide Angle Lens w/ Macro Portion for Canon EOS Rebel (T6s T6i T5i T5 T4i T3i T3 SL1 1100D 700D 650D 600D 550D 300D 100D 60D 7D 5D 70D) attached to my Kit lens and even the 50 MM with decent results, but the wide angle fisheye (curved picture of straight objects) look was annoying, and at lower aperatures the images were out of focus and have alot of lens distortion/ aberration, not totally bad but if you are thinking about getting one of these and have a little bit more funds then get this lens and/ or the Canon 24 MM f2.8 to meet your wider angle needs.ABOUT THE LENS:I stumbled upon this lens while looking at reviews for the Canon 24 MM, and was a little skeptical because I didn't know if I could trust a 3rd party (cheap) camera lens, of course I know we aren't talking about Sigmas like a couple friends I know have, but I did read and look at the reviews and also watched a youtube review by Digital Rev TV (which has really good camera product reviews) which basically seem to sum up this lens, the build quality feels plastic and cheap similar to Canon's nifty 50 f1.8 lens Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens,and like they observed on Digital Rev TV it seems like Yongnuo used the same lens body as Canon's nifty 50, and just put in a copy of Canon's old (discontinued) 35 MM lens. The lens lines up and mounts okay (lining up your Red Dots, so it will work with Non Crop SLRs also), but doesn't mount as smooth as my Canon factory (primes and kits) lenses on my t6, and feels a little stiff. So far have had no problems with Auto-focus as some other users have complained about, and the manual focus ring feels like cheap plastic but works well, reminds of using one of my old cheap telescopes or binoculars.IMAGE QUALITY:This is where I have to say that this lens so far has really exceeded my expectations, I said before that I was looking at this lens and also the Canon 24 MM f2.8 for wider angle lenses than the 50 and 85 I already own, and so far I am really slightly more impressed with this lens than the 24 MM ( I purchased both), this is not to say that the 24 MM isn't worthwhile getting, I think that the area it will really shine and help is with landscape, outdoor and macro photography, but the low light performance of the Yongnuo is better f2.0 vs. f2.8 and at least with my initial test the low light images of the YongNuo seems to have a little less noise on similar settings and conditions (indoors at about f2.8 or f3.2, with 1/60 to 1/80th shutter speed) again this is not to knock the Canon 24m because they are different lenses for different needs but at the YongNuo's price (when I purchased around 95 dollars) vs the Canon 24 MM price point of about 150, if cost is an issue and you can't purchase both maybe wait on the 24 MM or get Canons higher end 24 MM IS (much more $$ but better low light performance). The bokeh (background blur) seems okay but it is nowhere near as pronounced as the 50 MM or the 85 MM, and the sharpness of the images is not as tack sharp as the Canon 85 MM can be, again but these are all different lenses for slightly different needs, the 50 and 85 are more portrait, and close up action lenses to me, whereas for my uses I'm using the 35 and 24 to get more wide angle, full scene shots, but the 35 is a compromise between the 24 and the 50. I've included some sample images so far, but I don't know how long this lens will hold up with regular wear and tear photo gig abuse, so I will update it accordingly.Also Recommend for t6 series and other crop owners:Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM LensCanon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Medium Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras - FixedCanon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Standard & Medium Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras - FixedAlso follow me on IG at djexquiz for more images!Slight Update:After taking more test images I have noticed the focus is kind soft at f2.0 - about f2.8 when shooting Macro photos when compared to the Canon 24 f2.8, the Auto-focus is a little slow too and seems to have trouble focusing on more than one focus triangle point, unlike most of the other prime lenses I have, these things are in no way a deal killer for this lens because the image quality and price still is worthwhile, durability I can't comment on yet.

The media could not be loaded. I have been using this lens for a few days now after purchasing it, and I think it is excellent. It is small/lightweight and the autofocus works well. The 2.0 aperture really pulls out the depth of field capture of my Canon Rebel SL3, and paired with a Neutral Density filter this lens is excellent. The video stabilization is solid, and the image quality is very good for the price of the lens. I will say that the retracting/extending plastic ring that pulls in and out of the lens while the autofocus goes feels very cheap, and is a slightly loose fit. It works 100% fine and it is the price you pay for an exceptional lens for just over 100$.

My review based on using it solely with a Canon 5D Mark IV: For the price, this lens is not terrible. Picture quality is very sharp and is on par with Canon EF lenses. But the build quality is not, however. The lens cap pops off very easily, sometimes just from placing it in my camera bag. There's lots of play in the housing of the lens. The plastics are cheap. I haven't used it much for these reasons, so I can't really speak to how well it holds up to heavy use. My guess is not very well.After trying it with a Canon EOS Rebel 2000: This lens simply does not work. My Canon EF lenses all seem to work just fine with this camera. This one seats fine, the VF and AF work fine, no issue setting the f-stop. But I click the shutter, and it stays open and the camera display says the battery is dead. I'm not even halfway through my first roll on these batteries, so there's no way they're actually dead. I open the battery compartment and close it, the camera comes back to life with full batteries, and the shutter closes. I googled the issue and other Rebel 2000 users have experienced the same thing.Conclusion: A good value lens if it works with your camera, but it may not. Consult Yongnuo's website before you buy to see if your camera is supported. As it turns out, neither of my cameras is! But it does work with my DSLR. Its failure to support an EF film camera means it's not a true EF lens.

I purchased for use with a Canon EOS T7, as an intermediate prime lens between 24 and 50mm without breaking the bank for a sigma. For a budget lens it's ok, but I find the autofocus to be finicky and the color range always seems slightly off in comparison with the other two primes I use. If you're patient trying to get your shot and play around you can get some good quality photos, but it's not on par with nifty fifty for image quality, which is what I was hoping for intending to use it in smaller spaces than the 50 will allow.

Excelente me sorprendio la calidad a putear del precio, lo recomiendo lo use para una sesión Boudou rs3 cuerpo entero por el espacio pequeño y lleno mis espectativa

Can't go wrong with this super cheap lens.Focus might not be perfect, but over all, good color and sharpness + bokeh out of this very budget friendly lens. Make me feel comfortable & confident with my shots. Very suitable for portraits on cropped sensor.
