don't see the point of these Yongnuo lenses. Not at all. Could not be happier with my dirt-cheap EF 50/1.8 STM.

Its release now and on ebay, but what frightens me, and I'll wait for reviews, is this review of the new YN 50 1.8. A micro-adjustment of +12 was needed on a 6D. Thats's frightening.

I've had L glass that needed double digit AFMA on one body and very little on another. What's your point?

Canon 50mm/f1.4 worse MTF.
Canon 50mm/f1.8 worse MTF.
Yonguo better MTF.

Yonguo best cheap 50mm lens?
How autofocus?
If autofocus good, sell Canon, buy Yonguo.

Canon do better for price?
Can motivate Canon new lens?

Wrong URL.

Correct URL:

Autofocus: accurate. Slow and noisy (like Canon 50mm/f1.8).
Wide open: Yonguo better.
Stopped down: Canon better.
Now Canon do homework?
