Yongnuo 50mm f/1.8 S DA DSM Review

The autofocus is responsive, and the lens works well with an APS-C sensor camera, providing decent image quality from F1.8 to F16. However, there's noticeable pincushion distortion and some chromatic aberration at wider apertures. The lens is average at working against bright light, and the close-up image quality takes a hit at F1.8 but improves at F2.8 and F4.
