Yongnuo 50mm f/1.8 Lens Review

Yongnuo 50mm f/1.8 Verdict

Canon’s own EF 50mm f/1.8 II has long been championed for offering decent optical performance with no-frills and good value, due to its low price. Yongnuo’s clone looks as though it may offer even better value for money for those on a budget, as it performs very similarly to the Canon optic and handles exactly the same. Autofocus accuracy was a bit off on the sample tested, but this doesn’t mean it will be for every copy. For a measly £40, it’s probably worth the risk. I’d imagine you may have to rush if you want one though, as it is such a close copy to the Canon lens, there may be a legal team twitching somewhere at Canon HQ.
