A full frame 40mm 2.8 lens for $85.

Cheaper than old MF used lens.

>being so poor you can't afford anything more than Chinese plastic AF lenses

Fuck for 120 more dollarydoos you could have an actual Nikon-brand AF prime that doesn't suck, I paid only 200 for my 35/2 and 225 for my 50 1.4

I picked one up off of Amazon.

It's actually pretty good for the price.
The auto focus is pretty crude at this stage but it has a usb port to update it's firmware. Works in ovf but not in lv. Don't care that much. Bokeh is nice at 2.8.

Yongnuo should get some of the older classic Nikon lens designs like the Nikkor 58mm 1.2.

Make a copy of it with AE chip and AF.

I bet a lot would land 800 usd if they manage to do a 1:1 copy.

I got the 100mm one for Nikon a couple of days ago because hey, why the fuck not?

If Yongnuo wants to become a market player they better put that usb port to use very soon.

Optically it's not terrible, no great, but not total shit either. The autofocus on the other is just bad. It will miss often and doesn't properly work in live view. Metering is so bad you might as well just pretend it doesn't meter at all.

Don't bother getting this for an older camera either, slapped it on an old D80 I had kicking around. Keeps hunting for focus.

I do think the liveview autofocus problem is fixable in firmware. It keeps missing focus by the same amount every time like the video of the 40mm in the petapixel review

I think the problem is that the cameras don't have a lens profile built in and the lenses dont properly emulate existing nikon lenses well enough.

The 35 f2 focuses fine because its emulating an existing nikon lens.

40 2.8 and 100 f2 don't actually exist in the profiles correctly.

An interesting thing was that the face detection af on my camera seems to work ok with the 100 f2. But any other lv af does not.

Just tried the face detect AF but it didn't catch either.

If they ever release a firmware it might be a fun reverse engineering project ^^

I recently grabbed the 35mm f/2 for Canon. It's way better than it should be for the price.

The focus motor is a bit loud but I'm not doing weddings and shit. I can't hear it in the streets. It's quick and accurate.

The images are a smidge soft but I'm not making large prints either. They're plenty sharp enough for what I do.

Don't get the 50mm though.

Hell, Canon’s done it at least once—there was an issue with the 40/2.8 pancake that got fixed with a firmware update shortly after it came out. You needed to have Canon service it or have a relatively new camera body that could push the update out through the lens mount, though, not a nice convenient USB port.

Bought a 35mm f2 for nikon since there's nothing similar for nikon F mount. Absolute waste of money. Autofocus doesn't work 50% of the time even in broad daylight, just keeps hunting.

The electronics sometimes disconnect, so you have to remount the lens in order to even shoot.

Long way to go still.

I doubt they ever will be.

Yongnuo is Chinese.
Sigma is Japanese.
Different traditions and labor force.

Doing it with your camera body is far more convenient than having to buy a separate device.

I do hope camera shops can and will do it for free or at most a small charge?
It should be part of customer service.

false, it's not bad but clears up at f/4, but even at f/2 it's reasonably acceptable

considering it weighs nothing and has a compact size it's my walkaround of choice

Well, I just meant in general. I guess sugar is right in that every other 35mm option is significantly heavier and bigger though, so the only real comparison is with the yongnuo

I recently got the Yongnuo 50mm 1.8 for my Nikon. It's pretty impressive so far -- supposedly they have better image quality than the identical Canon lens they copied, and the metal mount feels more solid than the plastic ones on my Nikon lenses
