Comparison: Yongnuo 50mm f/1.8 vs Canon 50mm f/1.8

I think this lens is a great example that you don't need to spend lots of money to get good results.

Photography is more about the photographer, rather than the equipment.

Soooo, since every review is praising this lens as having better quality than the Canon and it's half the price is it the new "highest value for price" nifty fifty?

Not sure if anyone else has gotten a chance to try out the Yongnuo in colder temperatures, but the AF motor was moving VERY slowly for me. I also had a few shots that came out really over exposed. So much so that I wonder if the aperture diaphragm was stuck open for a few of the shots.

Edit: the temperature was 12F

DigitalRev compared the two YongNuo 50mm f/1.8 vs Canon 50mm f/1.8 II it seem the Canon is better
