The Yongnuo 35mm f/2 is a budget-friendly option for those looking for a 35mm lens. It offers nice bokeh and a fast aperture, but unfortunately, the image quality is soft and lacks sharpness.

Pros
  • Budget-friendly
  • Fast aperture
  • Nice bokeh
Cons
  • Poor build quality
  • Unreliable autofocus system
  • Soft image quality

The build quality is subpar and the autofocus system is unreliable.

The Yongnuo 35mm f/2 lens is an affordable choice for individuals looking for a 35mm lens. It features a fast aperture and produces attractive bokeh. However, the lens' build quality is subpar, the autofocus system is unreliable and struggles with accuracy, and the image quality is soft and lacking in sharpness - even when stopped down to f/8. The lens is constructed using cheap materials, resulting in an overall unsatisfactory performance. If sharp image quality is a priority, this lens may not meet your expectations, and you may want to consider investing in a higher-quality option.

Even when stopped down to f/8, the image quality is still unsatisfactory, lacking the sharpness that other lenses offer.
