The bokeh is better than that of most zoom lenses for APS-C, which are much less bright and sometimes also have trouble with a restless onion-ring structure. Thanks to a larger number of rounded lamellae, the bokeh is visibly nicer than that of the first Canon 50 mm f/1.8 version, which is sometimes still offered for sale at a low price.

If, as a starter/amateur photographer with a Canon SLR camera, you want to learn to play with background blur/bokeh, then the Yongnuo 50 mm f/1.8 is a winner.ДЄs can be seen in the practice shot above, a bright light source in the background produces a beautifully round bokeh at full aperture, with a small, colored intensified edge. After stopping down two stops, the highest sharpness is reached, and the Yongnuo (just like the Canon, by the way) gives nothing up to much more expensive lenses with the same focal length. You get a dreamy picture, which can create a unique mood for portraits and low-light shots.

At full aperture, the sharpness is far from optimal.

This is also, of course, simple to correct with software (Photoshop, Lightroom or another photo editing program).ДЄs far as sharpness is concerned, there is no difference from the Canon 50 mm f/1.8 STM that we just recently reviewed. At full aperture, you can still find vignetting in critical situations, but that is resolved after stopping down a bit. You do not need to worry about vignetting, if you use this lens on a camera with an APS-C sensor. Lateral chromatic aberration, green and red edges at sharp contrast transitions in the corners of the image, will rarely appear, even though the Yongnuo did not do as well in our test as the Canon 50 mm f/1.8 STM. The Yongnuo is as good on this point as the Canon 50 mm lenses. If you photograph directly against the sun, then even if the sun is just outside frame you can encounter green ghosts. This creates contrast-rich shots with true-to-nature colors, but flare can still occur with bright backlighting. The lens elements are fitted with a coating with multiple layers, so that reflections and glare are reduced and the light transmission is increased. But you get used to it quickly.Дistortion, vignetting, flare and chromatic aberrationДistortion is practically absent, as you might expect from a 50-mm fixed focal length. That feels strange, if you hold onto the focus ring during focusing. When you turn the AF on, then the focus ring turns as well. It works, but for me the focus ring could be broader. The same applies for the Yongnuo: at the front of the lens there is a very narrow ring, with which you can focus manually.

Manual focusing is not a snap with the Canon 50 mm f/1.8 or f/1.8 STM. Hence the nickname вЂњPlastic Fantastic.вЂќ The Canon 50 mm f/1.8 STM has a metal mount, but the Yongnuo still has a black plastic lens mount. The Canon 50 mm f/1.8 II had a plastic mount. The front lens element is deeply recessed in the lens housing, so that you do not really need a lens hood. The lens consists of 6 lens elements in 5 groups, just like the Canon 50 mm f/1.8 (II and STM).

This is a light, but not very compact lens. If you immediately started shooting without removing the film, then the image quality would probably be disappointing. I was surprised when unpacking the lens: there was a plastic film on the front and rear lens elements for protection against possible scratches. There is one switch on the lens, with which you choose between AF and manual focus. The exterior of the lens is strongly reminiscent of an old Canon lens. It is a Chinese company, from which you can also, for example, buy flashes or a 35 mm f/2.0 lens for an attractive price.

is part of ShenZhen YongNuo Photographic Equipment Co. For half the price of a comparable Canon lens with a fixed focal length, you get a one-ounce camera device with surprising image quality.ДЇor many, Yongnuo is an unfamiliar name. If, as a starter or amateur photographer with a Canon SLR camera, you want to buy your first lens with a fixed focal length, then you cannot go wrong with the Yongnuo 50 mm f/1.8. The high brightness makes this suitable for photographing in the dark without a flash as well, or for playing with background blur/bokeh. On a camera with an APS-C sensor, this is an ideal portrait lens. This is a 50 mm f/1.8 fixed focal length lens with AF, which can also be used on a camera with a full-frame sensor. The Yongnuo EF 50 mm f/1.8 is for sale for about 55 euros.
