Review on YONGNUO YN50mm F1.8S Lens 50mm F1.8 Large Aperture APS-C Standard Prime E-Mount Auto/Manual Focus AF/MF USB for Sony Cameras by Jason Wilson

Best Budget 50mm Lens for Sony APS-C

Reviews of this lens are few but enough to give good expectations. The lens is all plastic and feels cheap. However, the lens has better build quality than I expected and it doesn't feel as "plasticky". Also, the lens hood is quite thick and looks well made. However, it is easy. Now let's talk about its properties. autofocus. My first impression of using this lens on my a6300 for video and stills was that the autofocus worked better than I expected. It's not as fast as Sony's standard lenses, but it works well. In extreme light conditions (too bright or too dark) the lens might doubt itself for a few milliseconds, but it can eventually focus in those situations too. Image quality: I'm not an expert in this field, but in a few words I can say that with traditional photo and video visualization tools, you won't even notice that you're using a budget lens. Considering the results you can get with such a large aperture and 50mm, this lens gives you pretty professional results when taking photos and videos. I think this lens is definitely worth buying. Its price is similar to some budget manual prime lenses, but with this Yongnuo you not only get good image quality, you also get autofocus capability.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other models
