Review on YONGNUO YN35mm F2 Lens: Top-Quality AF/MF Wide-Angle Prime Lens for Canon EF Mount EOS Cameras by Hassim Rambli ᠌

The lens costs its 100 (+/-10) $ and fully justifies this investment. In fact, this is the good old EF50 / 1,8 with all its advantages (price, size, aperture, good pictures in good lighting) and disadvantages (misses and AF speed, XA), only with a focal length of 35mm. The cases are almost identical, the hood of the "fifty kopecks" (ES-62) is detachable from 2 parts and is also wound inside, and you can already screw the filter on it. And correctly refracted and reflected backlight from objects can give an interesting effect of sunlight, as they like to do now on old Soviet cheap manual lenses. (this is in addition to the previous review). I shoot with this lens on a crop. And the focal length of 35mm indoors became a decisive factor for me in comparison with the 50 / 1,8 that I previously owned. Portraits are also identical to those obtained at 50/1.8. Outcome. A great workhorse for the beginner or budget-conscious hobbyist, no razor sharpness but interesting bokeh. For crop, I recommend 35mm, because. wider angle.
