After a YN450 announced in 2018 that never came out, except a few unit on the grey market in China, Yongnuo announced an updated version of its mirrorless camera thingy, the YN450M. So what’s new? Well, pretty simple. The main difference is the mount. The YN450 already had a micro 4/3 sensor, but weirdly embedded a Canon EF mount. The new YN450M have the same 16MP micro four third sensor, but is now packed with a micro 4/3 mount. It…

Yongnuo 85mm F/1.8 Sony (E-mount)

Finally, Yongnuo announces several E-mount lenses (for Sony cameras), the 50mm f/1.8 as well as the 85mm f/1.8.

Yongnuo Lens 85mm f/1.8N (Nikon)

As we hoped, Yongnuo finally released the Nikon version of its 85mm F/1.8 lens. The Canon version was released a little over two years ago (February 2017), so it’s a long wait in between (Yongnuo used to wait six months/one year before releasing the same lens in the Nikon mount). See it on Amazon Little official information on the Yongnuo 85mm f/1.8N, but it would seem that the two lenses are extremely similar, if not totally the same. The picture…
