Top price/performance
Curiosity was too great, so I bought a Yungnuo 50 after all. I already had the Nikon variants Nikkor 50f1.8n / Nikkor 50f1.8D / Nikkor 50f1.8G and kept getting rid of them. I will keep the Yungnuo because the price and performance are very good. Of course, the Yungnuo can't keep up with the Nikkor G, be it in terms of optical performance or AF, but it's only 1/4th the price. The Yungnuo is very well made and looks very similar to the Nikkor G version. The autofocus is a little louder and not as accurate, but it's OK and not as loud as the Nikkor 50f1.8D rod autofocus variant. The optical performance is quite good if you stop it down a bit and the bokeh is also pleasing. Open at 1.8 the corners are quite soft, but at 2.8 it's ok. For someone who only uses it occasionally and doesn't demand performance like a Sigma 50 F1.4 Art, it's a good idea.
