Appreciate this comparison video! I'm a Nkon guy, and my Nikon 50mm 1.8 is one of my favorite walkaround lenses! In terms of full disclosure, I also hava Nikon 55mm Macro lens with manual focusing: I love BOTH lenses: NIKON rules! LOL

[@diyextravaganza]

Hi, thanks to you for supporting the channel. The Nikkor 55 micro is one of my favorite lenses too, very versatile. Here a video to fix a common issue on the 55mm th-cam.com/video/c7tcHKkI5uc/w-d-xo.html

[@thedrunkweddingphotographer]

Appreciate this video brotha! I have a wedding at the beach coming up and I DO NOT want to take my Nikon film camera and Nikkor lenses to the beach again. Learned my lesson from a previous job.
So I'm gonna pick up a Yongunou since it's more than capable of good results based on your photos. Going to pair it with a Nikon N55 I'm waiting in the mail for. This will be my beach setup from now on.

[@diyextravaganza]

I do exactly the same, I take my less valuable lenses to risky places.

[@zollieuncle9647]

Interesting comparison. I thought the Yongnuo is much better due to its newer design. Did you realize that the sweet spot of the Nikon 50/1.8G is at around f13? It is already very good at f4, but still gradually improves till about f13 which is a very pleasent news fot those who need the additional DoF for lanscapes relative to a typical sweet spot of f5.6.

[@diyextravaganza]

Hi, I don't think the design of the yongnuo is particularly new (but I haven't checked), the 50mm prescription is well established by now. About the Nikkor getting better, I did not paid attention to be honest. But in my opinion, the Nikkor offers the best trade-off quality price out there. Best..

[@Andy-rk9mu]

Thank you for the review. But unless someone is budget constrained, Nikkor is WTG

[@diyextravaganza]

My guess is that some people like the kind of rendition the yongnuo gives, I mean artistically. I like a lot myself really old glass for that reason. Cheers.

[@danieldarnei9907]

I think overall clearity of nikkor is better in every image .but yongnuonis not that bad at its price ..... which one will be better for me . I'm a beginner/intermediate level at photography.. please suggest me one .sir.

[@diyextravaganza]

The best lens is the one you know its strengths and weaknesses, and can afford. But if I have to choose, I'll take the Nikon second hand. Cheers.

Buen video recien empiezo las camaras con motor de enfoque son los AF-S o los AF-P ?

[@diyextravaganza]

Los afs y los AFP tienen motor de enfoque, no sé cuál es la diferencia. Un saludo.

[@ap6150]

@@diyextravaganza Me refiero a poder usar el lente 1.8d en mi camara 5500 AF-P se podra usar el auto enfoque de mi camara ?

[@diyextravaganza]

@@ap6150 hasta donde se, las series 3000 y 5000 no tienen motor de enfoque integrado, así que si estamos hablando de un 1.8d, no te va a dar autofocus. Si es uno de los dos lentes en este video, van a funcionar los dos. Un saludo.

[@anysbougaa6645]

Je m’attendais pas a une telle différence a grande ouverture
Je soupçonne les differences de couleur d’être lié au traitement de surface et pour la netteté sûrement un polissage moins qualitatif

[@diyextravaganza]

Moi non, plus, quand j'ai commencé à preparer la vidéo, je m'attendais à un comportement très similaire, j'avais tort, je bon, je pense que pour le yongnuo , ils sont moins regardants avec le polissage et tolerances de montage, ou bien, j'ai une très bonne copie du 50mm. Salutations.

[@anysbougaa6645]

@@diyextravaganza ah oui le montage est peut-être moins bien fait voir le fut de moins bonne qualité
Merci pour ce test, c’était instructif

And please help me ...is the yongnuo lens is trustable or not?

[@diyextravaganza]

Hi, in what sense? Durability, image quality, etc? Cheers

[@danieldarnei9907]

@@diyextravaganza I'm sorry i didn't mention that earlier 😁...yes I'm talking about durability here ... and can you please add some word on how the image qualities are? Please sir

[@diyextravaganza]

@@danieldarnei9907 the image qualities, I let you judge by the video. That's a very subjective thing, and what I like is probably not the same as you. Regarding durability, if you take care of your lens, it can last a really long time. The only thing that eventually fails in these lenses is the AF motor, but I've not seen yet either with a broken motor. Cheers.

[@lensonomy]

Highly trustworthy

[@Ranveer_Singh_Kahani]

My god...nikkor...wow..

[@diyextravaganza]

The Nikkor 50 1.8G is in my opinion the best trade-off between price and IQ. Best

[@Ranveer_Singh_Kahani]

Now i need a new cAmera

[@diyextravaganza]

@@Ranveer_Singh_Kahani why is that?

D7200 with f1.4G😁
