Just got youngnuo 50mm f1.8 and discovered it's a pretty good tiny lens.
Bought this lens and my initial intention was offering it as present to a friend beginning with photography.
I already have the 50f1.4
My lenses are quite heavy and a tiny lightweight lens comes out very handy, so would it make any difference if I keep the 50 or get the 35.
I can always get my friend a nice T shirt for his birthday
Well the difference doesn't seem important or am I wrong ?
The question is 35 or 50 mm not which one is better.
Unless the 35 has poor performance that's fine with me only and only if 35mm makes more sense for using as a single lens when I want to go tiny lightweight.

You are wrong, the difference is rather big wide open to f4.
Both the Canon EF 50mm f1.8 STM and Canon EF 35mm f2 are significantly better than the Yongnuo copies.
If you don't want to hear that, don't ask the question? :lol: B)
I'm giving Klaus a free idea: test one of the YNs on 5DSR for an April Fool's day review.
I also got me the 50mm Yongnuo, just for fun and, indeed, it is quite a fine lens. BUT: it more or less works only on Canon digital cameras. I've got a shelf full of analogue EOS bodies and only on the EOS 30 the Yongnuo works normally. On all other Canon analogue film cameras it doesn't. Obviously the reverse engineering was not perfect.
So, be careful with which camera you want to use it, or you might be disappointed.
