The Yongnuo YN50mm F1.8 II is a budget-friendly, prime lens primarily designed for Canon EF-mount cameras. It’s a second-generation model, offering some improvements over the original Yongnuo YN50mm F1.8.

YN50mm F1.8 II Key Features:

1. Focal Length: 50mm

• Standard prime lens, ideal for portraits, street photography, and general use.

1. Maximum Aperture: f/1.8

• Offers good low-light performance and shallow depth of field for beautiful background bokeh.

1. Lens Construction:

• This version has improved optics, reducing issues like chromatic aberration and distortion found in the first version.

1. Improved Auto Focus:

• Autofocus performance is faster and quieter compared to the original model, though it’s still not on par with more expensive lenses.

1. Build Quality:

• The lens has a more durable plastic build with a metal lens mount, providing better longevity and fit.

1. Closest Focusing Distance: 0.35 meters (about 1.15 feet)

• Ideal for close-up shots, like portraits.

1. 7-Blade Diaphragm:

• Creates smooth, rounded bokeh, enhancing the quality of the background blur.

1. Compatible with Canon EF and APS-C Cameras:

• On APS-C bodies, the equivalent focal length is about 80mm, making it more suited for portrait photography.

Pros:

• Affordable: One of the cheapest 50mm f/1.8 lenses available, making it a popular choice for beginners.
• Good Bokeh: The wide aperture allows for excellent depth of field control.
• Lightweight: Easy to carry, making it a versatile choice for various situations.

Cons:

• Autofocus Speed: Though improved, autofocus can still be slow or hunt in low-light conditions.
• Optical Quality: While better than the first version, it’s not as sharp or optically perfect as more expensive alternatives like Canon’s own 50mm f/1.8.

Overall, the YN50mm F1.8 II is a solid choice if you’re looking for a budget lens with a fast aperture and decent image quality. It’s a great starter lens for those getting into portrait or street photography.
