See it on Amazon I first thought it was a new category of products. In fact these smartlenses or smartphone clip-on camera were born in 2014. Yongnuo since announced a new similar product; with a build-in Android device: the YN450. Will it replace the YN43 or will it be sold next to it? we should know more in a couple of weeks. EDIT (November 11, 2018): There were several similar products that went out on that time, among the following:…
See it on Amazon According to the first images, the Yongnuo 14mm f/2.8N (Nikon version) uses the same body as the Canon version. Only the mount differs, as well as the red border for Canon and Yellow for Nikon. The autofocus/manual switch, the focus distance window and the micro-USB port to update the firmware are in both version. Yongnuo seems to have used the same external elements for both mounts, as opposed to the previous lenses which differed a little….
See it on Amazon The Yongnuo 100mm F/2N (Nikon) does not differ much from the Canon version. They look very similar and have the same specifications. You can see by yourself with the photos below. This is an autofocus lens, with a maximum aperture of F/2. More explanations on the aperture numbers here. The lens have a USB port to be able to update the lens firmware. Specifications of the Yongnuo 100mm f/2N Release date: October 2017 Lens structure: 6…
See it on Amazon This Yongnuo 60mm F/2 Macro fits logically inside the Yongnuo product line, between 50mm and 85mm, just like the Canon’s lens range. Macros lenses are valuable because in addition to providing a magnification ratio of 1:1 (or more) when practicing macro photography, they are also generally gifted in other areas. The macro lenses (Canon mounts) available on the market as of today are the following: Canon 60mm F/2.8 USM ($399) Canon 100mm F/2.8 ($599) Sigma 105…
See it on Amazon Now is the time to test it and give you a first glimpse. Is it really worth it? Is the price interesting compared to the Canon? Is the quality there? Presentation of the Yongnuo 50mm f/1.8 The 50mm lenses are a must have in photography because it allows you to play on several fields (portraits, landscapes, night or low light photos, etc.) at a very reasonable price. Add a high optical quality (prime lenses) and a…
See it on Amazon I’m really looking forward to discovering this new lens. I hope Yongnuo won’t disappoint us and offer us a superb wide angle lens. First of all: big surprise, the auto-focus! I personally expected a 14mm manual like the Tokina or Samyang model. The second surprise is the build quality. The first pictures give a really good impression, both in terms of design and manufacturing. I find similarities with the 14mm f/2.8L II USM from Canon, which…
See it on Amazon Presentation of the Yongnuo 35 mm f/2 In the 35mm prime optics, the choice is not huge, so it’s a pleasure to have a new baby in the family. Is it worth it (or is the investment worth it)? That is what we will see. This Yongnuo 35mm f/2 arrived in July 2015 and follows the 50mm version arrived 6 months earlier. In the 35mm range, there are of course the high-end versions: Canon 35mm f/1.4…
Fourth lens from Yongnuo, this 85mm is finally here. Let’s see what it got inside… See it on Amazon Edit May 27th 2019: The Nikon version if finally here, check it out! Presentation of the Yongnuo 85mm f/1.8 Let’s start with the packaging: the black and gold cardboard is quite impressive. This is the first time I see a 85mm this close, I was expecting to be a little more compact. To give you an idea, it is closer to…
See it on Amazon Well, actually there is a bit of confusion about the 50mm f/1.4 from Yongnuo. There was a time, in 2014, were a 50mm 1.4 was announced and almost ready to hit the market. Unfortunately, without any known reasons (copyright infringement?), no one manage to get a copy. See below how this unreleased lens looked next to the Canon 50mm f/1.4: So, obviously today we are talking of a new lens (I won’t call it Mark II…
See it on Amazon Presentation of the Yongnuo 100mm f/2 So, I was lucky to get the lens a few days after it came out on the market, and get it delivered the same day. I bought it on Amazon for $165. Pretty surprised during the unboxing, Yongnuo did not include a lens cover this time, nor a lens hood. Too bad, I started to get used to it. On the user manual though, Yongnuo tells you to buy the…
