The Yongnuo 100mm f/2 lens is surprisingly good for its low price, but it does have some compatibility issues. It offers great sharpness and contrast, with the best results achieved at F/4 and F/8. The build quality is decent, made of metal, and has a wobbly but rubberized focus ring. The lens produces pleasing backgrounds and has some distortion, with strong pincushion distortion noticeable. It also has some serious issues in bright light. However, for its price, it can produce nice striking images, and the bokeh looks pleasing. The lens is best for those who don't print their images large, as at wide apertures, the corners are soft. Overall, it's a good lens for the price, and if compatibility issues are not a major concern, it's a reasonable option.
