Yongnuo YN 50mm f/1.8N Standard Fixed Focus Lens Autofocus for Nikon F-mount Digital SLR Cameras
SKU: GW21.0007
The lens seems strong, The auto focus is a bit loud but pretty quick. I cannot brag enough about the quality of pictures it takes. Quick burst pictures, long exposures everything comes out amazing and professional looking! I dont bring my other lenses any more, this is the best, better than my Nikon lens my d5600 came with. I will add more pictures later.

I bought this lens as an inexpensive alternative to Nikkor lens. This lens has so far pleasantly surprised me. It is well built, auto focuses just like my Nikon lenses, manual focus is also pretty sharp and f1.8 aperture is good. I have attached a photo taken with this lens on my Nikon D3200. F1.8, 1/500 , 6400 in overall low light.
I am yet to try it outside but going by the inside results I am pretty sure I'll have a blast.

I am a food photographer and will re-review once I start using it more. So far, so good. I love it.

I love the price you are able to snag an extra 50mm for! This went on sale for fifty bucks and I just had to try it out. Took some pics around the house and at a bike show, they all came out great! On darker areas not in focus does add a little more blur Then with my better glass. But for the price? Great extra lens on one of the spare cameras! Tested on the camera it will stay with, a Nikon D3500 and works wonderful over all!

Got my son a cheap used nikon d3100 for 50$ and needed to find a cheap nifty-fifty instead of the old beat up kit lens, so far I can't complain.

I have no regrets on having purchased this lens. I'm an amateur, so having a faster lens for the occasional portrait photo makes it worth it. It is very lightweight, but seems well built. I feel like the auto focus sometimes misses though. I'm sure there are sharper lenses, but I couldn't justify the marginal amount of sharpness for double the price. I can see this being good for macro photography or being a decent portrait lens. You do have to be pretty far away from subject if you're on a crop sensor camera if you want to get the entire subject in frame (I probably should have got a 35mm). I'm using it on my nikon D5300. Took some pics around the house and added a headshot. All are processed. I replaced and blurred the background in the headshot, but this lens can give a nice bokeh in-camera without having to do any extra post processing.

The Yongnuo is an awesome prime for this price point. When I first purchase, I thought the wrong lens was sent, because it looks exactly like a Canon. Regardless, the overall build quality and workmanship is great. The AF is definitely faster and quieter than the Nikon D-version. I remember when this lens was selling for around $60 new! Now....it's over $100, and averaging $90 used on the Bay. Don't forget....it fits a 58mm filter. Good job Yongnuo! A+
Pros:
1. Affordable
2. Takes awesome photos
3. Lens is fast
4. AF is snappy and quiet
5. Lovely bokeh
5. Zero cons

This lens is fully compatible with NIKON D3100 and D7500 (both DX format cameras) just like a Nikon original AF-S 50mm f/1.8G lens with one small difference; with the original Nikkor you can intervene directly in the AF mode and correct the sharpness manually, but not with this one; With the YONGNUO, the lens must first be switched to M (manual) mode. Autofocus works fairly quickly and reliably and isn't too loud, as some others have complained about. I'm not entirely satisfied with the sharpness (only at large apertures), but ok, I accept it. Since the 50mm focal length is built for FX format, in DX format it means a focal length of 75mm, so it's a light telephoto and the risk of camera shake is quite high. The camera must therefore be held very still! Otherwise this lens is a very good lens in terms of value for money, with beautiful, realistic colors and (in my opinion) soft and pleasant bokeh. I uploaded some photos here; they were made in "A" mode - aperture priority with an aperture of f1.8. Only the last photo of Schönbrunn Palace was made with f11. Maybe these pictures can help someone with their purchase.

A goal that does its job. Mounted on a Nikon D3400 it takes almost professional photos

Curiosity was too great, so I bought a Yungnuo 50 after all. I already had the Nikon variants Nikkor 50f1.8n / Nikkor 50f1.8D / Nikkor 50f1.8G and kept getting rid of them. I will keep the Yungnuo because the price and performance are very good. Of course, the Yungnuo can't keep up with the Nikkor G, be it in terms of optical performance or AF, but it's only 1/4th the price. The Yungnuo is very well made and looks very similar to the Nikkor G version. The autofocus is a little louder and not as accurate, but it's OK and not as loud as the Nikkor 50f1.8D rod autofocus variant. The optical performance is quite good if you stop it down a bit and the bokeh is also pleasing. Open at 1.8 the corners are quite soft, but at 2.8 it's ok. For someone who only uses it occasionally and doesn't demand performance like a Sigma 50 F1.4 Art, it's a good idea.
