Yongnuo YN 50mm f/1.8 II

Bang for buck..do this first though... I first got this lens and put it right on my camera (who needs instructions???) and the first thought was man this lens is really terrible..i tried inside, outside, every setting and could not get a clear image. I then remembered seeing a video where the lens shipped with clear plastic stickers to protect the lens.(why don't they make them red or blue?) and i had a hard time peeling those off, but once I did, I was very satisfied with the quality of the images. SO MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE PROTECTIVE CLEAR PLASTIC COVERING. All in all I am sure it is not as sharp as a canon ef-1.8 or 1.4 but for around $60 to get to learn a 50mm fixed prime lens is well worth it. I am not selling any photos and do this just for fun, so this is a great addition to my gearbag. I would highly recommend this lens for beginner to intermediate shooters. Can't wait to see what Youngnuo comes out with next!Read full review

Okay for the money but... Overall below average build quality. It costs less then the Canon 50mm AF lens and its easy to see why. Images are still sharp overall though. Best advice. Spend the extra $25.00 or so and but a Canon.

Best lens in my bag. For the price it is much more than I expected. Very light and quick focusing. Used it indoors with no flash and produced very bright images. Thanks.
