I bought this lens as I wanted a 35mm prime to 'try before you buy'. I've used it at a gig and produced some great 'web resolution' photos with it. A few even made it into the local paper as the gig was for a local cause. As an amateur/hobbyist photographer who mostly displays photos on Facebook, this lens is perfectly acceptable and will do the job for less than half the price of the nearest Canon equivalent. For a professional photographer who may wish to do large scale prints, I wouldn't recommend showing up with this lens. Just my 2 cents.
A "professional" actually earns enough to "invest" more on equipment. Other who just wants to share on facebook or just prints for themselves, buying any equipment is just an expense.
Mokaddim Akm Yes photography is an investment of your own time and money. That's the point he made, he's just a hobbyist and this lens is perfect for that but obviously anyone who's a professional will not even think twice about this lens.
Christopher Frost Photography sir I'm using yongnuo 50 mm f/1.8 but I think my friend's canon 50 mm f/1.8 is much sharper. Should I buy yongnuo 35 mm? will I be satisfied in terms of sharpness?
But look at the colours! I got this lens and notice a vintage look about the colours, then I re watched this video and you can see it in the pics. I love this little lens it's got some character
After watching this, I'm happy I found an old Minolta MD 45mm f/2 when I did. The glass is still in pristine condition (almost like it was still brand new) for a 40-60 year old lens. Just got the adapter for it to fit to my Nikons and it is working wonderfully for filming and photography. This lens made by Yongnuo has a long way to go.
The Review is 8 years old, maybe they yongnuo changed little details in the meantime, because i cannot share the critisim here and love the lens for what it is. For me its "sharp enough", the af is just ok, nothing to write home about, but in the end nothing stops you from making great fotos with it. I got it for ~ 115$ and for this price its absolutely fantastic.
I bought this lens back in 2022 for my 90D, used it a bit but stuck with my 50mm and then got a tamron 18-400mm and various other lens. In Dec I tried it out again and I am in love with it. Been the only lens I have had on my camera since then.. I must admit my photography skills have also increased substantially. I have no problems with this lens at all. It's perfect for street photography and portraits. I highly recommend it. I prefer this to 50mm f1.8. It's great value for money in my opinion. But I did notice the price has gone up for some reason since I bought mine..
@@harshitsiwal well if you travel a lot I would suggest the sigma 17-50mm f2.8 EX DC OD HSM is the older version not the new one and a the canon ef 50-250mm for some reach. It's extremely light weight. If you could choose just 2 would choose those. But for a all in one just the tamron 18-400mm covers everything
johannes914 That was the case - I decided to give the lens the benefit of the doubt and show the slightly sharper side. Still pretty soft though, heh...
Bought mine 3 years ago and i get sharp images with it on the Canon EOS-R. Through f2.2-f11. The focusing is slow but accurate in my experience with the EOS-R. The colours are beautiful with this little cheap lens.
Chris, let me first say thank you for your new series on the seven early church cities. I know your viewers are already being frustrated by your sharing of the Gospel, and that is great. I hope that you will continue to share the Gospel in greater and lesser ways through your future work. I hope you can help me figure out the best approach to this situation: I am filming conversations around campfires at night. I'm using a 70D with a camera mounted Video Mic Pro. I really don't want to do dual system sound if I don't have to, so no shotguns or lavaliere mics (also, all gear needs to be backpacked into remote high alpine environments!) . My challenge, then, is using a wide enough and fast enough lens to capture these low light conversations, while keeping the camera close enough to also record decent audio. I am thinking I may need a wider lens than even a 35mm. I have Canon's 10-18mm zoom lens, which would be great, but it is too slow/dark for campfire shoots. I am considering the Canon 24mm pancake. It may be the best option... but: budget. It is hard to believe, but even this lens is out of my reach now (after having spent thousand[s!] on gear). So I am looking for an alternative. I am desperate! I am considering a Soligor (or the same lens under different names) 20 or 28mm lens for around $30! Do you have any suggestions for a wide and fast lens suitable for the 70D that is seriously affordable? Thank you if you can help, and thank you again, for your steadfast sharing of the Gospel!
Hi Chris, I bought one after watching your review. I totally agree with you that it is a weak lens. Probably the weakest I own. However, my copy seems to be a bit sharper at f2.8 than your version.
I have bought one 1 year agoand it was like yours, pretty bad. I sold it. A few months ago i bought another for a 5D classic, and this one is much better even on apsc
I would like to see some Leica lenses in an in-depth review like this. But I guess that won't happen, since they are very expensive and obviously not made for Canon EF cameras.
I always appreciate your videos. Informative and free of the gimmicks. I was wondering though this lens, the 24mm or 40mm pancake for an aps-c camera for street photography? Something small and cheap.
kinda strange, i've bought YN35 for myself and it is sharp enough on 2,8, at least in the center. i think that this depends on time when lens was produced, maybe...
The lens has its strengths and will get u out of a jam. If you shoot center at 2.8 u can get great pictures. I prefer prime lenses on the ff camera. They are light and small. I can always toss it in the bag.
I used to own the 35mm from sigma, canon and yongnuo, the canon 35 is the most disappointing one! the built quality is much better than yongnuo, but the image quality is not that much different than the differents in price, so, I sold it and keep the sigma and yongnuo! the same for the canon 50mm f1.4,
There are two versions of this lens, one for DSLRs and another for mirrorless cameras. The DSLR version is about $100 US. The mirrorless version is around $250-300.
I really enjoy these reviews, thank you for going into such detail. I would like to see a review of the Trioplan f2.8 100mm by Meyer-Optik-Goerlitz or the Jupiter 3+ Art Lens (1.5/50 L39/M) by Lomography. Both are modern reproductions of classic/vintage designs.
hi christopher, i too bought this lens to try out the focal length. i‘m a hobby photographer (often taking pictures in daejeon, korea acutally). currently i own basically canon’s 24mm f/2,8 and 50mm f/1,8 and this lens - 24 and 50 are just fine but 35 (or the like) seem a little more desirable. yongnuo obviously isn‘t a keeper so can you recommend anything? sigma‘s 30mm f/1,4 Art has some AF issues i hear, are there better options (in about this price range)?
Ok this is really weird. I just bought this lens used. And it is really, really sharp - the bokeh is soft. And in the center the focus is really sharp. The motor is weak, but that doesn't bother me too much. Just weird that your lens is that dull.
Same experience here. The lens is quite sharp on an RP. It seems that Yongnuo has ironed out it's issues. Only issue in the RP is that it doesnt read EXIF data off the lens.
What about using this lens with an analogue SLR? I use Ultramax 400 film stock, not Portra or the higher grain quality because I like the look of the grain. Otherwise, I could use a DSLR. So what would be the effect on the film stock? I think the Ultramax already has a more soft sharpness.
I don`t tend to shoot with anything other than my Nikkor 70-200 and my Nikkor 50mm, but when i had my old Nikon D3300 i found the Yongnuo 50mm better than the Nikkor 50mm. But with that lens was the other way around, on my old Nikon D3300 it was really sharp but on my Nikon D850 really soft. I`d love to know what the 35mm would be like with studio lights, as could do with a cheap 35mm to do in-the-box photography so it wouldn`t be used that often.
Hi chris I'm planning to buy my first prime lens,and i'm thinking of yongnuo 35mm f2 and yongnuo 50mm f1.8. Which one is better to take a sharp photo and nice bokeh?
before i watch your review, i dont know China can also make this lens, ridiculously speaking, i am a Chinese...but this lens indeed will be my next lens, cause its too cheap, its enough for my shooting.
A $120 lens, And you’re expecting the same quality as you would get from a canon brand at $500. or more You need to see someone At least you should agree it’s got some value
If I had an EF to EF-M adaptor, could this Youngnuo YN 35 mm lens give me a nice wide angle on a mirrorless M50? The M50 has a bad crop factor for 4k and I'd like to minimize that somehow.
Hi Chris, please advise me whether should I go for youngnuo 35mm, youngnou 50mm or Nikon 50mm 1.8g prime lens? M so confused about this lenses...does this youngnou has a proper auto focus?
Hi Christopher. I'm a big fan of your work here. Great job! Can you PLEASE do a review of the old Canon FD 35mm F2? You can find these at still kind of expensive prices (for an old lens) from eBay. Thanks!
The Canon kit lens of 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 has max apperture of 4.5 at 35mm focal lenght. That's 2 steps and 1/3 less apperture, and it does not pack such a better image quality. That little lens has some use for non professionals
hey Chris can you review the Mitakon/Oshiro 35mm f/2 manual lens? It's supposed to be sharper than the Yongnuo without being much more expensive. Thanks
Could you compare it with the original Canon 35f2 (discontinued, not the IS one)? I'm happy with my Sigma 17-50 2.8 after watching this video. My zoom lens is sharper @ 35mm f2.8 and I will push more ISO when I need more light. I've missed a deal for the Sigma 30 f1.4 Art at $270 (couldn't sell my 17-50 fast enough to get the 30 Art, kinda sad)
Christopher Frost Photography my yongnuo lens dont have the typical screw in area. Which is what baffles me. My canon lens, no problem. But my YN lens idk..
my 35mm F2.0 Seems to leak light where way to much light in where at let's say at 1/2000 @ F5.6 at 50mm it's fine wher at the same setting's on my 35mm at the same scene it is very overexposed
@@christopherfrost hi Chris.. Its there on bhphotovideo. com.. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1532195-REG/yongnuo_yn35mm_f1_4c_df_uwm_yn_35mm_f_1_4c_df.html
Thanks for a great review, this is why saving for a better lens is worth the wait, these crude copies of canon lenses are of no good if you take your photography seriously. Why buy 2 or 3 cheap inadequate lenses that are never going to give you the pleasure of a more expensive decent lens. People are buying these lenses and within a month trying to sell them on eBay.
@@picturef8 lens works well on an RP. It seems like the newer lenses are sharper than the older ones. Only issue is the EXIF data isn't read by the new canon mirror less systems.
There are some third party EF mount lenses that worked with older Canon EOS cameras that have firmware issues with newer EOS bodies. Firmware updates aren't available for all of them.
Hi,chris my 6D have yellow colour when I shot at night indoor, during the day it fine nothing, no yellow colour. The yellow colour is also effecting the pic.
Well, except you can't really find the old canon lens, the only i found was in horrible condition, and still 1100 reais(~310 Dollars) while the youngnuo is like 450 reais(~110 Dollars). I was able to find one in good condition for 1850 reais(~520 Dollars), still cheaper than the IS one at 3200 reais(~900 Dollars!!!), but waaay more expensive than the Youngnuo.
Christopher Frost Photography It's not meant in a negativ way. I just wanted to mention it because I found it funny. But you should check 'em out. They're pretty funny. But generally not as "scientific" as you in their reviews.
overTIMe Christopher Frost Photography LOL yea I watch DigitalRev videos when I want entertained. I watch Chris's videos when I need to the truth about a lens. Not say Chris is not entertaining at all, I enjoy his videos, but he offers more RL need to know info about lens. Where as DigitalRev has just basically turned into a comedy show at best.
overTIMe I like that Christopher and a few other people get to the point, and explain what we want to know about the lens in terms of sharpness, vignetting, distortion. Kai is a very entertaining person, but Christopher is where the actual information is found.
Adriana K. That's because the channels are structured completely differently. Christophers channel deals more with the technical aspects while you could specify DigitalRev TV more as "infotainment". They're - as you say - presenting the information with the element of entertainment. By doing that, obviously some technical aspects get lost across the way.
I always feel a bit zen after watching Christopher's videos, which are both relaxing and informative. Anyone else feel that way?
David Diez I do, it's a kinda mix of his voice and his accent, imho.
sort of hypnosis! very relaxing!
It isn't so much Chris, but Christ, whom you are experiencing.
And the very good jazz piano !

Great review. I would say this cheapo lens is great for those who are learning or take the photography as a hobbie.
it can be for pros too. good photos are 20% the equipment and 80% the photographer.

best cheap lens ever made ;]
Sure not. Absolute shit show. The best budget lens ever made is the 50 mm f/1.8 STM.

I'm waiting to test out the ultrasonic one that should come out soon
Better the Canon 40mm, near enough focal length for similar price used with an incredibly nice picture quality.

Thank you for this review. You are really accurate!!
Great review! A really useful video! Not like others....

At least you should agree it’s got some value
Any chance of seeing the 300mm f/4 L in the near future?
tomtom4867 Yes - stay tuned!
What happened to your 70D? Not using it for reviews any longer?
its true that some elements on this lens seem to be out of way? and they kinda swing?
If I had an EF to EF-M adaptor, could this Youngnuo YN 35 mm lens give me a nice wide angle on a mirrorless M50? The M50 has a bad crop factor for 4k and I'd like to minimize that somehow.

Hi Christopher. I'm a big fan of your work here. Great job! Can you PLEASE do a review of the old Canon FD 35mm F2? You can find these at still kind of expensive prices (for an old lens) from eBay. Thanks!
Nah, it's too difficult to fit FD lenses onto EF cameras
I'm guessing he meant review them on mirrorless cameras?
Nice!! I shoot at f8 for flatlays anyways so this would work!
what would you recomend between using this lens or using the canon kit lens at 35mm. does the yongnuo have enough to justify buying it.
The Canon lens will be sharper
Why people take cheap lenses and want them to perfom like expensive lenses .
The Canon kit lens of 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 has max apperture of 4.5 at 35mm focal lenght. That's 2 steps and 1/3 less apperture, and it does not pack such a better image quality. That little lens has some use for non professionals
Thanks a lot for guidence 😊
Just ordered this off ebay how long did it take to come? China and stuff
James Grandi Mine came early actually, only took about 9 days. Contact the eBay seller if you end up having trouble
is this lens support canon 70d..?
All Canon mount lenses made since 1987 will work on your Canon APS-C digital SLR camera, except EF-M lenses
hey Chris can you review the Mitakon/Oshiro 35mm f/2 manual lens? It's supposed to be sharper than the Yongnuo without being much more expensive. Thanks
But its not auto focus you know🙂
What is the sharpnest canon 40mm ,canon 24mm or yongnuo 35mm?
Canon 40mm
Could you compare it with the original Canon 35f2 (discontinued, not the IS one)?
I'm happy with my Sigma 17-50 2.8 after watching this video.
My zoom lens is sharper @ 35mm f2.8 and I will push more ISO when I need more light.

This one or canon efs 24/2.8?
Track down a copy of the old Canon 35mm f/2
Struggling to focus Everytime with canon 1200d
Hi Christopher, Can you please give a review of Yongnuo 35 1.4 uwm new model from this company.
Thanks!!
With the ultrasonic autofocus motor? If you can tell me where to get one then yes
@@christopherfrost hi Chris.. Its there on bhphotovideo. com..
www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1532195-REG/yongnuo_yn35mm_f1_4c_df_uwm_yn_35mm_f_1_4c_df.html
could u review yongnuo 100mm f2 please. christopher frost.
I've covered the 85mm version - it should be quite similar
I had thought this was basically a copy of a canon 35mm f2 so not sure why it performs so much worst?
Amazing explain, but i can't understand the English leanguage.
Thanks for a great review, this is why saving for a better lens is worth the wait, these crude copies of canon lenses are of no good if you take your photography seriously. Why buy 2 or 3 cheap inadequate lenses that are never going to give you the pleasure of a more expensive decent lens.
People are buying these lenses and within a month trying to sell them on eBay.
Funny I havent seen a single used one of these on Ebay .
+Ken Lorig what's really funny is seeing this guy's comment on every single video of this lens
this is a good review, thank you!
3.30 there is some purple and green fringing
Bummer! Could this have at least been sharp at f4? ugh...
So this cheap lens will be the best for David Hamilton... ;-) He will never need vaseline on his lenses...
Any difference comparing to the Nikon version?
I don't test Nikon lenses
I have heard that on the mount side of the lens there is a foil on the lens. Did you removed that before you made the Review?
Everything was removed - I test lenses very carefully.
Thank you for your fast answer
Would you care to revisit this lens with the eos R ?
Nah
@@christopherfrost yeah nah ? Or nah nah ?
@@picturef8 lens works well on an RP. It seems like the newer lenses are sharper than the older ones. Only issue is the EXIF data isn't read by the new canon mirror less systems.
@2:46 camera body goes from 60d - 50d
It's magic!
would you say the 85mm is better than this in the Yongnuo line up?
Yes, miles better. Watch my review
is thi lens compatiable with eos rebel t5i?
All Canon mount lenses made since 1987 will work on your Canon APS-C digital SLR camera, except EF-M lenses
There are some third party EF mount lenses that worked with older Canon EOS cameras that have firmware issues with newer EOS bodies. Firmware updates aren't available for all of them.
Well I just ordered one before watching this video. Whoops.
nice sir, lets bokeh
Hi,chris my 6D have yellow colour when I shot at night indoor, during the day it fine nothing, no yellow colour. The yellow colour is also effecting the pic.
Mine has back focus issues
Well, in Brazil this lens is 1/5 the price of the Canon one, so, it has a better value.
Not compared to the older Canon lens, without image stabilization, which is this lens's closest equivalent
Well, except you can't really find the old canon lens, the only i found was in horrible condition, and still 1100 reais(~310 Dollars) while the youngnuo is like 450 reais(~110 Dollars).
I was able to find one in good condition for 1850 reais(~520 Dollars), still cheaper than the IS one at 3200 reais(~900 Dollars!!!), but waaay more expensive than the Youngnuo.
Sort of wobbly.
where is your 70d?
Hans Papa Read the description
Lol, again a off-brand Canon imitation-review one day after the one from DigiralRevTV
overTIMe I've literally just noticed that now, I'm about to take a look at Kai's video!
Christopher Frost Photography It's not meant in a negativ way. I just wanted to mention it because I found it funny.
But you should check 'em out. They're pretty funny. But generally not as "scientific" as you in their reviews.
overTIMe Christopher Frost Photography LOL yea I watch DigitalRev videos when I want entertained. I watch Chris's videos when I need to the truth about a lens. Not say Chris is not entertaining at all, I enjoy his videos, but he offers more RL need to know info about lens. Where as DigitalRev has just basically turned into a comedy show at best.
overTIMe I like that Christopher and a few other people get to the point, and explain what we want to know about the lens in terms of sharpness, vignetting, distortion. Kai is a very entertaining person, but Christopher is where the actual information is found.
Adriana K. That's because the channels are structured completely differently.
Christophers channel deals more with the technical aspects while you could specify DigitalRev TV more as "infotainment". They're - as you say - presenting the information with the element of entertainment. By doing that, obviously some technical aspects get lost across the way.
Please review yn 35mm f1.4
Thanks. Good review 👍🏼
is a my new canon 7d a crop sensor?
Yes, it's an APS-C camera
$120? wow a shop in an online shop in my country sold it for $95
Thanks; With all the negatives of this lens, it's not worth it.
Ever hear of pp ?? Add sharpness in pp especially if you shoot raw 😉
Adding sharpness helps a little but it can't replace lost detail if your lens is totally soft in the first place
