Yongnuo Lenses Anyone?

[Ko.Fe.]

They surely did roll out those MKII L series one after another. Never tried any but I believe you. I honestly thought the MKI 17-35L was a damn good lens for its time as well as the 28-80L I never owned the 28 or 24-70.

What about the tiny 24STM?

I have 16-35 L 2.8 II and it is just another lens which leaves no practical reasons to buy RF lenses in 16-28 focal lengths. Even small size doesn't count for optical quality and large aperture, plus fast, quiet and accurate AF.

16-35L 2.8 II on ISO25 film.

24STM is high quality glass and fast AF.

But some reviews were a bit disparaging with regard to the "plasticy" build quality (though for the price this does not bother me so much as it is to be expected)...

My Nikon D and G lenses feel very plasticky too. Cuz they are mostly made of plastic so I don't think that's a valid criticism. My Sigma Art lenses feel much better built than my Nikon AF lenses.

I have the 50mm f1.4, not quite the same lighting surcomstance, but sharper then the f1.2L

I've used this lens for years, but it's not as sharp as modern Zeiss Planar, the nikon 50f1.2 or my v3 Summilux.

For those like you I had picture of me and my in-law laughing. Picture was taken with 50L and @1.2.

No neither do I which is why it is not such an issue for me but I felt I should mention it nevertheless. And you are right about some Nikon lenses - the Nikkor 50mm f1.8 AF D comes to mind as plasticy but wow, those optics!
