YONGNUO YN EF 50mm f/1.8 AF Lens YN50 Aperture Auto Focus for Nikon Cameras as AF-S 50mm 1.8G with EACHSHOT Cleaning Cloth

This is a surprisingly good lens. I bought it to take indoor photos of shelter pets where the lighting is poor but I didnt want to use a flash. The auto focus locks on surprisingly fast even wide open in low light with my D750. I was expecting it to do a bit of hunting especially since Im shooting wiggly subjects. Its decently sharp although I wouldnt use it for a fine art photo but it does a nice job of capturing hair and whiskers.The minimum focus distance is small enough that I can reach out and position or pet and animal without having to move back a bit to focus.

Honestly for the price youre not gonna do much better. I was recently putting together a kit for traveling that needed to be both cheap and versatile (traveling in a sketchy area, I didnt want one of my good cameras to get stolen or damaged). I ended up pairing a used D3200 body with this little nifty fifty. Great pairing, great results. I also got an older used 55-200mm kit, and an Amazon Basics flash and had a good, versatile walking around kit for just around $200 even. I was hesitant about a Yongnuo lens, though I have other products by that and theyre pretty decent. Was really surprised at the quality. The focusing is kinda slow and the edges are a bit soft, but it does the job. Great for street photography. Definitely worth the price.

This is my 1st prime lens. Quality of photos is good. I dont understand the auto focus delay and sound some of the guys are talking about.. Out of 20 shots, couple of times there is a second delay in autofocus. Otherwise, its good. I dont hear sound during autofocus. I could see quality i am looking for. Background is total blur and foreground face has all the focus. I wont be returning this one. Only missing part atleast is not too good in low light. I have to increase ISO or slow down shutter or add flash. I cant say thats missing because i did not test nikon 50mm 1.8g to say whats ideal working behavior. I dont say i will carry this all day around because i see that 18-55mm lens fits most of the purpose.

I love this lens! I’m a beginner photographer, just bought my first DSLR. I quickly realized that my kit lens wasn’t going to take the types of pictures I was hoping for, but I didn’t have the funds to purchase the name brand one right now. Maybe it’s not the sharpest lens ever, but my photos look amazing. If you’ve got a small budget like me but still want to expand your lens collect this is it.
