Another potentially great value lens from Yongnuo: an autofocus 35mm lens for Sony's full-frame (or APS-C) mirrorless cameras. Let's see what it's capable of.
All pictures taken by me on Sony a7R II and a5100 cameras.

Chris use autofocus continuous, it works so much better than single point. You don't get that focus bounce either

@@staLkerhu well actually I was surprised to find the Yongnuo 35f2 feels like a premium lens in comparison to the Samyang 45f2, with its hollow plasticky feel. The YN is made out of metal and is much better built. Ha, the irony...

I've been watching all your vids probably. They are excellent in every way. I think you are a benchmark on how lensreview vids should be all in all. Great stuff. Also, your accent, I love it. You pronounce R sometimes with V and I've heard that before, in some movies. Sometimes you say regular Rrrrr to so I'm curious to where that accent's from?

British people pronounce their 'R's different to everyone else in the world. It's just one part of what makes us so special hehe

very impressive performance for its price. not everyone can afford expensive 35mm, this is going to be a very popular choice. I wonder will we gonna see 1.4 aperture from Yong Nuo? I'm a Canon shooter, and I'm jealous that sony keeps getting so many new good and affordable third party lens. I'm considering my next camera is a sony.

Nice review as always! (never get bored of your Reviews). It's too bad for the CA/Fringing, I'd take the Samyang over this lens even with its lower F2.8 aperture! Samyang is way sharper, a lot more compact, has way less CA/Fringing, and can be had for about the same price (used). This Yongnuo looks to be a good 35mm "F4" lens.

Are you testing AF in AF-S or AF-C? I've seen the slight "hunt" before confirming focus in AF-S on some other lenses, but it's most likely the CDAF final pass that's doing it. It disappears completely in AF-C, which is constant OSPDAF.

Stupid comment. I bought the lens a few days ago, and I'm very impressed with the lens (as the reviewer is). The image quality has something organic the Sony 35 1.8 doesn't offer. For shooting portraits, the Yongnuo is probably the better option, and for a fraction of the price of the Sony. Oh and by the way, all Sony A7 cameras are made in China ;)
