Yongnuo 50mm for DX Portraits I shoot a Nikon D5300 a DX camera with a cropped sensor. Not a fan of zooms. Never was. My main glass for the D5300 is the Nikon 35 1,8. This is a “nifty fifty” on FX, 70mm on a crop.I have a rarely-used Rokenon 85 f 1.4 for portraits. Dreamy, great bokeh, but large, heavy, and manual focus. Its 130ish focal length requires a lot of space. I’ve been tempred to get the Nikon 50mm but couldn’t justify the cost for an occasional use portrait lens for an amateur. Also, 50mm is a 70mm on a crop, kimda an odd focal length. Too short for traditional portrait, too long for general use.However, less than $70 for an F mount autofocus prime? Sure. Why not? I shot for a day, and here are my thoughts. It’s not bad, worth the money. If you shoot primes on FX and are a 50mm shooter, and that’s your main lens, spring for the Nikon. It’s still a bargain and a great 50. It is visibly sharper at wider apertures and contrastier (evident on several comprisons I’ve seen on the web)…
Sweet baby Geezus!!! The unboxing; well i debated making this purchase because of all the YouTube reviews on the Canon version: zoom issues, noisy autofocus motor and more. But i own a Nikon d3400, i must have received a new version because mine is as QUIET AS A CHURCH MOUSE, AF works like a charm on view finder and live view.I’ll make my official review in a few days with pics. Only wish they made the 85mm for Nikon….UPDATE……So after my unboxing I was able to take this lens out for a little test drive; As stated before helens seems to be just as quiet when focusing as mo Nikon 35mm 1.8g. I haven’t found the so called SWEET SPOT on focusing but I can say that the lens is pretty sharp. I did have a moonier issue with focusing in LIVE VIEW but I fix that by turning tracking off and then back on. The d3400 isn’t really that good at tracking so it’s no big deal. So here are a few images from over the weekend. I haven’t done any LENS CORRECTIONS with these images.
Performance beyond what you’d expect I’ll start this review with my experience, and why it should matter to you. Over shot 34 years, learned on film/manual focus lenses. I’ve done pro work off and on. So there’s that. I’m not new to gear at a)l. This lens has to be one of the best deals I’ve come across. So to compare (in the same ballpark), you have the Nikon 50 1.8D for around $135-$150 new. This is Nikons (older model) 1.8. Or, you could go with the 1.8G for around $250-$300 new. Both are good lenses. They are sharp, render well, have very nice shallow depth of field at lower apetures, and focus quickly. The D uses screw drive focus motor from your camera body. The G uses an ultrasonic wave motor built into the lens (gonna need this lens if you have a cheaper body. Look it up to check.) AND this is assuming you completely ignore the rest of what I have to say.For $68, we are now talking about the Yonguo. Same f1.8 apeture. Same focal length. I’ve used this lens quite a bit in the…
