  • Best "Budget" Prime Lens You'll Find - Absolute Steal for the Price
*: YN50MM Nikon
The media could not be loaded. 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. ... show more

  • Beautiful Lens
*: YN50MM Nikon
First off I am a photographer by hobby and I don't know all the bells and whistles (still learning and having fun) but I do know that this YONGNUO YN 50mm F1.8N is a beautiful lens. It costs a fraction of the competitors and it is still well built and solid and not 'cheap' looking at all. Love the weight and it works great with my old school Nikon N 65. It has AF and MF options and again, I'm not a professional but I don't hear the noise or the lens being loud. I am super impressed and for the price, I may even look into more lenes from YONGNUO. And I received it a day early too! Note: the red in the photos is reflecting off the red background. ... show more

  • Definitely worth the money
*: YN50MM Nikon
I only received it 2 days ago, but so far, it's great! I haven't noticed it making noise like several reviews complained about, nor did I have any trouble attaching it to my D3200. I am clueless about photography and bought the lens to help with product photos. So far, I'm very pleased. I've had a little trouble getting it to focus on the subject, but I'm 99.99% sure that's due to my cluelessness, not the camera. If I back off a bit, it focuses just fine. I'm very happy and think the lens was worth the money. ... show more

  • Inexpensive, not cheap.
*: YN50MM Nikon
Received this lens in excellent, sturdy packaging, clearly a quality oriented company. All the features look first rate, not cheap or unfinished. Proof is in the pudding, and I'm quite pleased with the image quality I'm getting. I'm predicting that once word gets out on this brand, prices will increase, and not due to tariffs. ... show more

  • Absolute Must have for beginners
*: YN50MM Nikon
The media could not be loaded. Lots of reviews here speaking praise about the lense but not many are showing you just how different it is compared to the stock 18-55 3.5 lens that came with my Nikon d5600 camera. First let me say that if you are just starting out with photography. A 50 mm 1.8 is an absolute must have for your first lens imo. Now then as you can see the difference when it comes to subject focus and isolation from the background/foreground is not super super significant. But it is significant enough to be noticeable. The wider aperture also makes it much easier to take low light photos without causing too much noise in your pics. Pros: Wider aperture than most stock lenses. This means better subject isolation and more blurry backgrounds/foregrounds. The larger aperture also means more light coming into your camera so you’ll be able to make your photos brighter without having to turn up the iso so you’ll have less noise/artifacts in your photos. Cons: Auto focus is NOISY. As the video shows, the auto focus on this camera(when compared to a stock Nikon brand lens) is much louder. For this price you better not have expected perfection. You won’t be using the auto focus if your recording video because it will be making noise nonstop. No zoom. You are locked in the magnification. If you wanna zoom in or out you will have to rely on digital zoom or you will have to move away. So fine tuning the framing of your photo will require a bit more effort and movement on your part. As the second picture shows despite being 6ft away it looks like I am right in front of the alter. You’ll need some extra distance for your pics with this lense. Now don’t think any of these cons are reasons to not buy this lens. These are simply things you’ll have to deal with. Every lens will have drawbacks and limitations. This specific lense though. I don’t think you will fined a better auto focusing lense for the price. The only way you could find something cheaper is if you go with fully manual focus/aperture control. If you’re just getting started. This, in my opinion, is a must have beginners lense. ... show more

  • Great value for moneuz
*: YN50MM Nikon
This lens surprised me. The value for money is outstanding as this lens is very very sharp and weighs almost nothing. Nice compact size so placing it in my bag while still being on the camera was normal. This lens lived on my camera for the first 3 weeks of owning it!!
