YONGNUO YN35mm F2 Lens 1:2 AF/MF Wide-Angle Fixed/Prime Auto Focus Lens for Canon EF Mount EOS Camera

I bought this and a Yongnuo 1.8 50mm as an experiment. I’ve been very impressed. The optical quality seems dead on. Quite comparable to the Cannon lenses. No graininess. No pincushion. No are etc no distortions. Test images show perfect quality. The body materials aren’t quite as robust as the Cannon, and the autofocus is louder. But works perfectly. These are a great inexpensive lens for the advanced hobbyist. I don’t know how well they would hold up to the rigors of professional use. But for students and typical after hours photographers they are great. You can’t beat the price. Nice fast lenses.

I came here to say OMG. This is a cheap lens, but the image quality is so rich!!!! I am in my first year of portrait photography and wanted a wide angle, so I bough this. I am very happy with this lens, the images are sharp!! Definitely worth buying.

I had bought the 50mm version of this lens some time ago, and my wife loved using it to take artsy portraits and macro photos. But on an APS-C crop sensor, it functions as an 80mm lens, meaning you need to be super far away from your subject (I bought it as a gift before I had learned anything about photography).When I saw that they had practically the same lens but in 35mm, I grabbed it. With the crop factor, it behaves like a 56mm lens. Though the 50mm does go to F/1.6 vs. the 35's F/2.0, it still gives you plenty of bokeh.That being said, both lenses suffer from the not-very-good autofocus problem. It's both really loud and doesn't seem to have enough "resolution" to make the camera happy. So sometimes it just gives up and you have to manually focus anyway. But all in all, it's hard to complain about that too much on a $100 lens.

The lens works perfectly well. Pictures are sharp. Video is amazing. I love it. The build quality doesnt seem too great, its plastic and has a weird rattle when you shake it. But still holds up great and I think most folks would have a hard time figuring out that the work this produces is from a lens under 100 dollars. I added some pictures and I also shot VIDEO which came out awesome , check it out on my Instagram account : @chriscameraguyI use a Canon 80d incase you're wondering.

Great lens with a nice wide aperture for the price. While the focus may be a little noisy, it is the same as Yongnuo's 50mm f1.8. Personally I like a little noise from the lens as it is like haptic feedback to make you aware that the lens is working. In extremely sunny conditions my eye can not always adjust to the viewfinder instantly and hearing a quick "zzzt" feel/sound lets me know I am in focus and I can grab a shot. I know most cameras beep, but I turned my beep off as I do a lot of wildlife photos. This also helps when you want to stand and hold your camera low to the ground without pulling out the live view screen and you can see and feel the lens getting a closeup to try and grab a quick shot.

Too soft, not sharp enough for my liking.Loud autofocus.Came nicely packaged and on time.

Seriously. This lens is an absolute deal. It's less than $100 and is essentially the same as the Canon 35mm f/2 EF (older version). Autofocus speed and IQ are nearly identical. Build quality is even surprising. The autofocus is a bit noisy, though (so is the Canon version). It also focuses a tad slow (so does the Canon version). Either way, if you're thinking about purchasing this lens, just do it. You're getting everything the Canon has to offer, but for much less. It even gives the newer Canon 35mm f/2 IS a run for the money in terms of AF and IQ. If you're expecting L quality, or a Zeiss/Leica/Sigma, well, you're wasting your time. It's amusing people will buy this lens and expect it to perform like a lens which costs 10 times as much.

You get what you pay for and this was a fun lens. It’s not going to replace some $400 lens you wanted but if you keep your expectations reasonable it won’t disappoint. Unfortunately mine broke internally and fell apart in my hands so it’s no longer useable.

Per quel che costa é super!! Molto nitida, bellissimo bokeh e luminosissima. L'autofocus potrebbe essere più veloce ma a questo prezzo sarebbe impossibile. Promossa:) occhio però che su un sensore no full frame sk deve convertire la focale. Restituisco perché preferisco il 35L di canon ma se non c'è il budget come unico obiettivo lo terrei

Great lens only a little noisy when autofocus is active great value for price

I recently bought this lens for carp fishing self take photography. Very pleased with the photographs that I've taken up to yet. Image quality is much better than the canon kit lens that I was using previously.

Vraiment un bon achat, pour réaliser de portraits avec un Bokey intéressant au vu du tarif, il est très clair et fonctionne bien sur un canon EOS 70d apsc.

Ha cumplido mis espectativas con creces. Mis dieces. Muy recomendables para retrato y uso en general, muy bien en relación calidad-precio.
