Yongnuo 50mm f/1.4 (II) lens review and comparison (Full-frame & APS-C)

No! - 400 f2.8 needs to be next.

[@guillermoivani2170]

Yes, I want it with IS at 300 USD! But today there isn't any Yongnuo zoom lens (just primes). I think they need to start with a "easy" 70-300 F4-5.6 without IS and then they need to improve (years) in order to reach sometihing similar to the 70-200 F2.8 IS. I bought the first version of the 50 mm and the 35 mm, they just weren't good enough for my full frame.

[@auroramasters]

[@ej_tech]

Yongnuo lenses are getting better at such a rapid pace. Not too long ago I tell people to not get Yongnuo lenses and just spend more on other lenses.

[@slr7075]

Youngnuo should capitalize on the Mirrorless market where lenses like these can offer Mirrorless users more choices and variety.

[@TWX1138]

@@LuLeBe Canon has two mirrorless lines that can use the protocols used for EF lenses. Seems like a no-brainer to me. Just as long as they make purpose-built mirrorless lenses, where the lens can be tiny and tuck right up against the shutter. If they just add integral spacer barrels to DSLR lenses then there's no point in putting an RF or EFM mount on, I would just get the EF version and use my own adapter. If I have to carry something the size of a DSLR lens I may as well be able to use it on my DSLR as well.

[@ronbarriaultjr]

That’s why adapters exist though?

[@Motorflame]

Omg! Yongnuo 50mm 1.4!!

[@willdb6114]

It's an extremely nice lens for the price, I've been using it wide open and it focusses accurately and is sharp enough for portraits and shallow depth stuff. Contrast is good, background blur is creamy. Not in the same league as the Sigma Art 50/1.4 obviously but I think it's better than most cheap nifty fifties at

[@pal54321]

I have this as a Canon EF version and tried using it on my R6ii with EF-R adaptor and it just hunts like crazy and ended up freezing the R6ii. Christopher, could you maybe contact whoever your YN rep is and ask if they can maybe do a firmware fix for this, if it is indeed the lens's fault. Thanks

[@jabezhane]

I picked this lens up on Ebay for £100 a few months ago. It certainly feels value for money. I updated the firmware on it too. I also tested the focussing (using a tripod and one of those focus scale things) and found it was slightly out so was able to adjust it on my 6D which improved things even further. I'd still like to get the revised Canon 50mm STM as I like to have a small light lens or two for parties etc. but I'd probably get more use from the 40mm pancake second-hand. I like using this lens to explain the 'wonder of bokeh' to people. A quick head shot at F1.4 and then F8.0 gets a "Ohhhh I see what you mean now!".

[@mehadyislam]

I bought this lens & updated to firmware version 1.4 , autofocus is faster now 👍

Thanks again, Chris! Really think I'll be buying one of these to replace my Canon 50mm STM, as I want a lens with nicer bokeh! Congratulations on being the first reviewer!

[@ditorres9884]

Hey man, how was the bokeh difference? Does the YN renders it smoothly?

[@gnz-art]

I own several Yongnuo F Mount lenses and the 50mm f/1.4 will be no exception for both F Mount (I am a Nikon and Sony user) and EF this time, thanks for the great review.

[@lorddryp]

I bought this lens for around 120$, used but in perfect condition and I'm surprised how good is it. It is MUCH better that Canon 50 1.4 USM which I owned for many years before I switched to 50 STM. YN at 1.4 is fully acceptable for most situation while Canon 50 1.4 USM was't becouse of lack of contrast and disgusting purple fringe. It's quite heavy and solid built lens. Gives nice smooth bokeh. In this price range it is very good choice if you want to have usable 1.4 aperture. If you don't mind 1.4 go for Canon 50 f1.8 STM which is plasticy but a bit cheaper and have better AF in terms of speed and it is also very silent.

[@A.A1995]

That Yongnuo suprised me. We have trained eyes as photographers but I bet clients wouldn't be able to tell the difference between it and the 50mm art from Sigma when you show them your final work after post production. Buying it used would probably set you back 120 dollars or something.. it'll be an absolute steal for an F1.4 AF lens. Though it would probably make me feel bad for putting a 'cheap lens' in front of a full frame sensor.

[@sergioserramusic]

This came out of nowhere! Happy to see an actually affordable f/1.4 lens. I’ve never thought about buying the Canon 50 1.4, many reviews showed it is not the sharpest lens (especially on crop sensors) and it’s getting quite old now; I really hope Canon brings a new one out soon! BWT, great job from Yongnuo. If it had got better AF I’d buy it eyes closed

[@powerlurker]

yongnuo start by knock off canon 50 1.8stm，new one around 50bucks， and that lens quality is crappy，chris made that review aswell。 but i think this time they did a pretty good job

[@sergioserramusic]

I tried the 50, the AF is painfully slow but the optics is quite usable. Of course the STM is on another level

[@delpinsky]

Clearly we can't have the best of both worlds for the price. Something must be dumbed down to contain the costs of production, but it seems like They did a pretty good job! I will put this lens in my wishlist for sure, for the future.

[@sergioserramusic]

If you buy it from Amazon, you'll have two years of warranty in Europe (don't know about UK now) and they'll replace it if it suddenly stops working or has an isse not caused by accidental damage. I don't know if they can repair it, but for the price you're paying you'll probably be better off buying a new one

[@klemmfixer]

Thanks for the review! Bought the Nikon version based on your recommendation and was pleasantly surprised. Focus is spot on most of the time (no AF finetune necessary either on my copy), center sharpness is more than useable wide open (probably better than the old Nikkor screwdriver) and razor sharp starting at F1.8. Wish the bokeh had a little more character compared to vintage glass, but that's modern optical formulas for you, I suppose?

[@MasticinaAkicta]

Canon, your move!

[@Chilled_Wombat]

On what?! Tha 1.4 is new, Canon's version is 400 years old.

Interesting! One of the problems with Canons 1.4 lens, as well as the 1.8 (especially) is the slightly nervous bokeh, especially with specular highlights. The Youngnuo seems to be clearly better in that respect, which is enough for me to choose it over the Canon, even disregarding price. Fortunately for me I have the EF 50mm f/1.2L, so I won't have to make that choice, but I will recommend that my brother take a look at this review, since this might be a great lens for him. Thanks for a great review, as always!

[@philg6757]

There are some interesting lenses coming out of China,I have a few in my possession already. This one looks good but I think I`ll wait.

[@俞鑫-l7x]

Phil G you have to wait, it’s not a choice but a fact you need to face. Even in china it's difficult to buy this lens. Always sold out.

[@cnottagejr]

what are the name of your cameras you got from china

[@westsenkovec]

One of my biggest gripes about camera manufacturers was the lack of a micro USB port that could be used to power or charge the battery. Especially when most people carry around a power bank. Instead you had to buy an expensive replacement battery, an expensive charger or buy an battery dummy. To make things worse, the cheaper point and shoot cameras have that feature and the more expensive ones don't. Manufacturers are slowly implementing this feature but it's too slow and too late because they want people to buy their overpriced batteries. No wonder people buy cheap batteries from eBay.

[@Hexsense]

Sony A7 series can do that. Some of their first few can only charge when the camera is turned off. Newer models are now usable while charging from USB port.

[@stevess7777]

I actually disagree with that. Your camera already comes with a charger, and while spare batteries cost 60$ at most, there are some very good clones for 10-12$ a pack, I speak this from owning several LP-E6 wasabi batteries. Also, what's the point of charging a camera while not being able to use it?

[@stefanoferrari5937]

Steve, latest canon cameras use the LP-E17, which have an encrypted chip in it. The camera won't recognise third party batteries so you won't be able to read the battery level and sometimes the camera also "reject" the battery and doesn't even turn on. Being able to recharge the camera with a powerbank would be a huge saving for the consumers.

[@BenjaminKanarek]

Sony users! If you are planning to use the Yongnuo with the sigma mc-11 adapter I would make sure a refund is available. When I tried the 50mm f1.8, focusing didn’t work for nothing. Locked up many times. Complete trash. I made a video about it. I ended up getting an used 50mm f1.8 stm for it’s focusing speed and quietness. Which many forums and reviews agree it also beats the f1.4 in image quality. What do you think Christopher?? Thanks for the comparison BTW!

[@gastonpierini1774]

Hananias Q my YN 35mm has the same problem, works randomly.

[@christopherfrost]

You mean, is the Canon f/1.8 sharper than the Canon f/1.4? In my experience it is very slightly sharper. When it comes to adaptors I couldn't possibly comment - they all work so differently I'm afraid

[@jpr-tech]

Yes, I noticed the f1.8 STM (all STM as a matter of fact) are really sharp. Sigma MC-11 does get regular updates, so that is comforting knowing that manufactures are constantly improving lens mechanics. Thanks for the video!

[@shang-hsienyang1284]

I guess you'll be reviewing the Samyang 85mm f/1.4 as well. Nice review as always.

[@ImagesByLyricsPhotography]

Shang-Hsien Yang that 85 1.4 manual lens is really good I use it for Sony a73

[@martinzhang5533]

Second that. The samyang 85 will be of interest to many people as it is a cheaper and lighter option. That is if it is not too much worse than the heavy sigma or the expensive L lens.

[@MasticinaAkicta]

The only "bad" thing about the Sammy 85mm is that it is fully manual. Also it doesn't talks back to the camera, which in certain cheaper models can lock up the camera. But yes, it is a very nice lens, just... get used to manual focusing and taking your time. For, auto focus and more daily use I rather use the Sony 85mm F1.8 FE.

[@shang-hsienyang1284]

I am actually referring to the latest autofocus 85mm Samyang just announced for the EF mount

[@kallegrabofski]

hi Chris, Thanks again for your reviews; love them as mentioned before. Here‘s one idea for the froogle photographer: How about a comparison between canon‘s 50mm 1,8 vs yongnou 50mm 1,4 (for their comparable price)? Anyway, I‘d be highly satisfied by your simple opinion to that. Thanks a lot and all the best michael

[@grdprojekt]

Dayum I'm looking for fast fifty for my Canon RP (and settled firmly to use EF lenses for a few reasons), and reached the conclusion to purchase the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM. Until I found this video. Sure it's more expensive but it's quite unbelievable tbh. So I knew the Yongnuo f/1.8 is worse than Canon's, but definitely understandable considering the price. But this f/1.4 league is the complete opposite. The 25% price increase (from Canon 1.8 to Yongnuo 1.4) is worth it. Glad I found this video.

[@agro0]

Canon really needs a new 50mm 1.4, this yongnuo seems better even though it costs half as much.

[@nikonmark37814]

Yongnuo recently upgraded their 50 f1.8 which uses 52mm filters to the 50 f1.8 II with a metal mount and it uses 58mm filters. I think this is where the version II questions are coming from.

[@leung63401]

I have this lens now and it is better than i thought

[@gamelordaxe]

I bought it already. Great lens in terms of image quality, just a bit slow and heavy.

[@torbenlysholm1]

Great review, Chris! Finally someone showing Canon how much they need to update their 50mm lenses. Not just the 1.4. For casual shooting I love the colors from the 1.8's, but the smearing of contrasting edges that Canon's 50's exhibit until f3.2 is simply making them useless for me. I know some say that it's just contrast and it can be fixed in post, but first of all, it's not just contrast, and second of all, I don't wanna have to rescue each and every photo I take at the wide apertures. I'm really allergic to that smearing. I'm adapting Canon glass to my A7III (as well as using native lenses of course) and since the 1.8's don't work well in continuous-af, I had to sell mine and get a 1.4 instead. That works like a charm adapted, but still there's this smearing wide open and even stopped down a bit, and I kept taking it off the camera and put on my Sigma 50 Art. I don't wanna drag that heavy lens around for casual shooting, so now I've sold the Canon 50/1.4, and I'm getting this Yongnuo. I'm always shooting at wider apertures when it's in natural light, and the Canon is only winning (with my preferences) from about f4 and up. I prefer 85mm for the "pretty" portraits, 50mm for slightly edgier portraits when going in tighter, 35 for it's wider view, and 24 for it's edgier wider view ... but I don't have a 35 and a 24 right now. So maybe I should buy the Yongnuo for the money I got from the Canon, sell the Sigma 50 Art and buy the Samyang 35 and 24 for that money? I would lose the awesome quality of the Sigma, but I would gain a more complete kit. (I have the 85/1.8 and also a 70-200/2.8.) In the future I could then get the FE 55/1.8 and get back the awesome quality and still keep the Yongnuo for the 1.4 when I need that.

[@christopherfrost]

Hmm, up to you really, I'd slightly prefer the more complete kit myself :-)

[@torbenlysholm1]

@@christopherfrost Yes, I think that's the way to go too. Did you by any chance check how it worked with AF-C on your A7II? The Canon 1.8 II supports it, but is jerky and unusable (like all STM lenses I've tested), where the Canon 1.4 supports it and works very well over the entire frame. (A7III here.)

Great review as always. 3:28 "you hear a slightly worrying grating sound" Given that sound, maybe your not meant to move the focus ring while in AF mode?

I'd seen your video before, but rewatching it now that I have a Canon 50mm f/1.8 Mk.I, I'm not really seeing any reason to upgrade to any affordable f/1.4 models for a 24MP camera. They simply don't perform well enough at f/1.4 for me to justify the purchase, especially when 50mm is already a bit long on a crop camera. The extra light isn't worth it if the quality at that aperture is poor enough to call for stopping-down to an aperture no better than the f/1.8 achieves.

do you think this is worth the buy if you already have canon 50mm 1.8 STM?

[@christopherfrost]

Hmm, not really, unless you really want that f/1.4 aperture

[@selinakloft2386]

What’s with the bokeh? Is it 'better ‘ than the Canon one?

[@christopherfrost]

Yup, IMO

[@chrizevo]

I have this yongnuo and canon 50mm stm. Compare to Canon, I think yongnuo overall has better bokeh, contrast, saturation, flare characteristic, and sharpness, but another side it has lower AF accuracy, consistency, speed and AF sound is little too loud i think. Except you mount it on Sony bodies + sigma mc-11/viltrox adapter.
