Yongnuo 35 f/2 - Anyone using them?

[p.giannakis]

I've been tempted by this cheap 35 f2. Is (or has) anyone using one of these? What's your comments on it?
Please no speculation, user comments only.

Thanks.

I would also be interested in this.

If you can take pics like this with it, I think it's ok.

I was looking at that lens too, as the Canon original is quite expensive, even used.

If you read through the user reviews on B&H and Amazon, you'll find just what you would expect to find. They look outwardly the same, but are completely different electronically and optically.

My solution was just to put out an ebay search for the original Canons and get one when one shows up with the right price.
