 I just spotted this new lens from Yongnuo, it's got AF. 

 

Ok everyone's at it, this new model is trying to wave goodbye to the company's rather nasty cheap plastic Christmas cracker Canon lookalike lenses at $50 a pop...

 

 It's nicely constructed from aluminium and has full control from the camera body.

 

YN 14mm F2.8 sports 12 lens elements in 9 groups.


 


DC motor for AF.  Multi coating.


 


USB connection for FW updates.


 

2 aspheric elements and 1 low dispersion element.

 

7 aperture blades. metal mount.

 

Yongnuo claim to use gold plating technology.   


 

 Unfortunately, gone are the $50 dollar price tags and new in are the $700 ones.

 

  It will be interesting to see a review of this lens! 

 

 Here's the link to their site;

 Perhaps those who read MTF graphs could add whether they are decent.

Two personalities? I don't know if I should envy you or feel sorry for, but so you're never alone. Which is a good thing for someone on a boat.

     We know it's a big problem for us....   

 

      We're never alone with Siamese neurones..........we share the lenses of course!

Ah, no, sorry, no review unless the manufacturer supplies one. The resale value of such a lens is non-existent.

Maybe someone is going to lend the lens to you for testing.
