YONGNUO YN50mm F1.8N Standard Prime Lens, Large Aperture Auto Manual Focus AF MF for Nikon DSLR Cameras

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? Yes Did 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? Yes Does it autofocus well on my D3400, D7000, D810, and even on my D500 and N80 cameras? Yes Did 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? Yes Does 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? Yes Did 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? NO Did I like the bouquet? Yes Is 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!

Great product. It really ups the game as a novice photographer. Its is a great budget lens for thise trying to explore photography but for the price it feels pretty good in quality. The only con which I docked a star for is the auto focus. It never worked for me, it would constantly adjust never really focusing.

Muy útil para emplear en cualquier situación, fotografía de calle, eventos, etc. Enfoque con mucha nitidez .

I bought it for ₹8k and I feel it is the best portrait prime lense at this budget. If you are handy in manual focus, its best budget friendly lense for you. Autofocus is not that good, you must have to be skilled on manual focus, and its very easy.

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.

Tem um ótimo desfoque de fundo, super indico a compra. Valor bem mais acessível

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