I have used this lens on a D700 and a D7200, and image quality is as good as my Nikon 35mm 1.8G with the benefit that this is an FX lens. Would buy it again. Perhaps the build quality is not quite as good? But I don't notice it. I've heard that it is a noisy lens, but again - I don't notice it.

I ended up returning yhis lens. It is slow and loud. I also had trouble with focus.The Canon 50mm 1.8 is usually a little over $100 on amazon and seems to be a bit better and much less noise.

Really good lens. The price is very low, the material is very good and the image quality is excellent. You can lose some focus on 2.0, it's still nice, but on higher apertures it's excellent. I love the bokeh than can be achieved with it. I use it on my Nikon Z50 with the FTZ II adapter... and works very well.

After about 10 years without one, I decided I really needed to have a prime standard lens for my Nikon DSLRs. I was on a very limited budget, so I took a risk and bought this lens.This was a risk worth taking.I have been shooting around my hometown of Waco with it, and also took it with me on my wife's and my 10th anniversary trip to San Antonio. With the exception of one shot that required my 18-55mm zoom lens, the Yongnuo stayed on my D5500.The picture quality rivals that of my Nikon zooms, and of course the wider aperture allows me to capture shots in low light quite easily. The construction is solid, though admittedly not as solid as my Nikon zooms.One of the trade-offs of getting this lens rather than Nikon's or Sigma's similar lenses is that the maximum aperture is only 2.0 rather than 1.8 or 1.4. For me, the trade off was worth it. Your needs may be different, so think about that before you buy this lens.My two Nikon DSLRs are half frame models, and so this makes for an excellent standard lens. If you are using a full frame camera, this will make a fine wide-angle lens.This has quickly become my go-to lens. Don't let the low price fool you, this is an excellent lens for the price. Highly recommended.

Este objetivo está muy bien y tiene una buena relación calidad/precio. Es verdad que hay veces que se queda un poco corto, así que si lo vas a utilizar profesionalmente, mejor vete al de nikon o a otro superior. Para uso ocasional está perfecto.

Camera lenses can be expensive, especially if they combine both its ability to be fast in terms of aperture and to be a prime but this one goes against the grain in that it is quite inexpensive for what it is. The lens is made by Yongnuo, a Chinese company that produces camera accessories.====== Build ======The lens is a stubby lens, a similar size of a Nikon 50mm with just a focus ring and a switch between automatic and manual. There is no manual aperture ring on this one so the build is quite light. I wouldn’t say it is as heavy as my other lenses but it seems to be built from similar materials. The lens arrived in a box with plastic covers statically attached to each glass end so it was protected all the way to my door which is a nice touch.====== Using it ======I use this lens on my D800 and I’ve had great results so far, having an F2.0 aperture can certainly help bring in depth of field to those slightly wider shots. I’ve used the automatic and manual focus functions and found it to be responsive and accurate. I have found the sharpness to be good – it’s not as good as my Nikkon 50mm but its close enough for the effect I want. That’s not to say the image is not sharp but just not as razor sharp as I have seen from some other lenses. Some sharpening in post will certainly bring it back.====== Conclusion ======This is a great lens for those who haven’t got the money to splash on a branded lens from Nikon but the results are still good. I would recommend this to any photographer and I will be buying from Yongnuo again.

The 5 stars are conditional: they account for the remarkably low price of the item. This lens is an amazing bargain. I was expecting a much cheaper build quality for this price, and I knew what to expect in terms of optical quality. Plenty sharp in the center from wide open, edges and corners sharpen up quickly as you stop down. There is no automatic manual focus override, but the AF/MF switch is a nice touch. Build quality really does feel close to on par with the Nikon 85mm 1.8 G lens. I got this as a gift for my father, who shoots a Nikon D610 and D7000, and lately this lens has been living on his 610. He loves the 35mm focal length, and this is a much smaller, lighter package than his 17-35 2.8 or 24-70 2.8 The additional speed is nice as well given the lack of stabilization.

I've been considering a 35mm prime to add to my collection of lenses, but really have been trying to avoid purchasing another high priced lens. At less than $100 I thought it was worth a shot. I received it and my first impressions were good. Not quite Nikon quality, but considering the price point, the build quality and finish seemed acceptable, better than the Nikon 50 1.8D I once had. I mounted it onto my D700 and took a few test shots of my son. Viewing the files on my computer, the 1st shot impressed me as sharp and the rendering was pretty good. I clicked on the 2nd image and found it unacceptably out of focus -- I may not nail focus 100% of the time but this one was pretty bad. The 3rd one was like the 1st. I picked up my camera again and took a few more pictures, but this time I noticed that the lens started to rack back and forth and was hunting really bad. Worse than anything I've seen before. Was it because the light was not great? I went outside and picked out a high contrast subject in good light. Focus seemed better, but the next attempt the focus hunted again. Not a a millimeter or 2 off, like the whole subject is out of focus kind of off. I took off the lens and mounted it back on. I changed AF modes from continuous to single shot. From dynamic focus points to fixed single point. AF illumination on. Nothing seemed to resolve the problem. While the image quality appears to be more than good enough for a $100 lens, the autofocus proved to be unacceptably inept. As much as I would overlook an less than perfect AF system for good image quality and a very low price point, I will be returning this lens.
