• Does anyone have real life experience of Yongnuo lenses?
    I'm certainly not a highly skilled photographer, never done any paid work or anything like that. Just a light hobby really.
    99 percent of the time its just documenting my daughter growing up, no fancy arty stuff but I appreciate a good photograph.
    I have a Canon 50mm f1.8 ii lens that I've had for about 5 years. Its amazing for the £75 I paid for it.
    Looking for a 35mm lens in the thinking I can fit more of the expanding family(3 mth old son) into the frame.
    Reading the reviews the yongnuo 35mm f2.0 seems like a no brainer at £70 on ebay? Any other suggestions?
    Camera is a Canon 500d btw. Another question is wether I should get a used 5d ii? see they go for 400-600. lens or body or both?

  • I have both the 50mm and 35mm (using them on a 60d), AF on both of them is reasonably slow as shit, the 35 being slightly quicker. Quality isn't extraordinary but decent enough, can take some samples if you want.

  • Thanks, decided I'll go for the 35. About to order on eBay right now. Can't grumble with £70. Don't think I can justify spending in the hundreds for my uses really.
