I am new to this forum and I am new to taking photo's with a DSLR camera. I have bought a second hand EOS 50D with only 3200 clicks. I have read a lot about photography and I practiced a lot. I have been taking photo's from the age of 12. Never wanted to know more about aperture, iso and shutter speed. Never thought of it. Now I have read more about it and I find it very interesting.
Last week I bought a Yongnuo YN 50mm F/1.8 II lens. I wanted to buy a 50 mm lens but I wanted it to be cheap. This lens is cheap, costing only 89 euro. The Canon version is 114 euro. Why not pay that extra more you think? I don't know. Somehow I wanted to try the Yongnuo lens.
Took some photo's with it and I am not disappointed. With F/1.8 you have a great bokeh but in the middle of the photo it is kind of blurry when you some in. At F/8.0 you have a crisp photo. This lens is a quiet one. Af works good, not great. Sometimes it has trouble finding the right sharpness, but most of the time it performs good.
It is a great lens for portrait photography and even a better lens for street photography. I took some test pictures at the Rotterdam harbor last week and they look great.
I like to take photo's of things that are so normal that you don't see them anymore. Like a nail in some wooden stairs. This lens makes a sharp photo of the lens and the rest of the photo has a very nice bokeh. The nail really pops out of the photo.
