    The STM lens when talking about Bokeh is magnificent! Completely round blurs of light compared to the others which have the octagon like shapes. I'm SOLD on the STM. Affordable, durable, quiet, sharp and wonderful Bokeh! What else can you ask for? Using the STM for my first shoot. Wish me luck!

    Excellent video! I can't see the point in upgrading to the STM version unless you do video. I prefer my Mark 1 version of the lens. It has a metal mount, distance scale and better focus ring when compared to the Mark 2. It is sharper than my 50 F1.4

    Thanks for clearing this out. Had it not been for this video, I'd have definitely bought Yongnuo, because some websites are showing sample images of Yongnuo having more sharper images than canon at f1.8. So I was very confused, because Yongnuo is very inexpensive.
    Thanks for such a explanative and demonstrative video.
    Loved it!

    • @NextLevelNerd

  • @6663000
    @6663000 6 лет назад

    I have the 24mm f/2.8 STM on a t2i, both MF and AF make a very loud humming/squeegee noise when making a long focus move.
    I've seen reviews of the same lens on cameras like the 70D, and the focusing is almost completely silent.
    There seems to be a big difference in the noise produced by the STM lenses depending on which camera you have.

    • @NextLevelNerd
      @NextLevelNerd  8 лет назад

      +jamzi If you are a beginner then the Yongnuo will be just fine. It seemed to be better than the Canon Nifty Fifty at times.

  • @jddockery2
    @jddockery2 6 лет назад

    The down side of using a T4 for this is you can not do AFMA, so the lens can not be tuned to the camera. The Yongnuo you had may have been front or back focusing. Likewise the people doing the test that said the Yongnuo was better could have untuned Canon lenses.

  • @TCConner
    @TCConner 8 лет назад

    I agree with your assessment, the Canon 50mm STM is the better choice. Great review.

  • @alksdng97834y
    @alksdng97834y 8 лет назад +5

    I think that the version II and STM have exactly the same glass, but improved focus on the STM makes it jump a little ahead here and there. Yongnuo should not even be considered, it's very soft, better buy a used 50mm from Canon.

    You use a crops senior canon camera with these? Just thought I'd help anyone that may not know that 50mm on crop is actually 80mm because of the crop factor is 1.6 so 50 x 1.6 means your leans on crop is 80mm...

    @Virgil82 8 лет назад +3

    aT the 4:02 do you make the photo with the head more big for the stm and the head is less big with the yn and canon II. That's not ok! And on the photos cr2 at f2.8 u have the same aperture BUT the different iso and the different time esposure. That is'nt too precise.

    • @c0pyimitati0n
      @c0pyimitati0n 8 лет назад +1

      The head is 'bigger' different because I am showing you the minimum focusing distance. The STM can focus closer. As for the ISO being different, I used the wrong image... it's not that big of a deal. Just download the RAW files for yourself and look at them.

    • @oldbloke135
      @oldbloke135 8 лет назад +1

      It's bigger because it's closer.

    • @c0pyimitati0n
      @c0pyimitati0n 8 лет назад

      oldbloke135 It's bigger because the STM lens has a closer minimum focusing distance. The Yongnuo and the old Canon have a minimum focusing distance of 45 cm vs 35.56 cm on the Canon STM lens.

    Hey im kinda noob at photography but i got a question
    Is proper to compare pictures with different ISO ?
    Its only the appreture that matters?
    i see same picture for example one shot is 1/125 640 ISO and other is 1/500 200 ISO ... its not normal to have different image ?
    Thanx in advance

    • @NextLevelNerd
      @NextLevelNerd  9 лет назад

      +Teh LuNaTiC I don't see any comparisons with iso that is that far apart, i see one where it is 320/640. But that is only because i had to fight the clouds to keep the correct exposure. Changing iso that little will not affect picture quality.

      I see a lot of car photographers on IG use the STM and it looks absolutely beautiful. It's fixed though so you really got to back up. I just got an SL1 and the EF50 is one of the first lenses I'm adding. I think it's near perfect for car pictures. I'd recommend the kit or something wide angled for combo shots though.

      I think I got it already after further research. This 50mm STM is not as silent as the kit lens (18-135/18-55 IS STM) but it's definitely a lot more silent than the older 50mm. Also on video mode this 50mm STM lenses are more silent than when in camera mode. Thanks, keep the videos coming and more power to your channel!

    Yongnuo_ EF YN 50mm is best in conon 80d camera for video shooting

      Kedar Lolage You mean better than Canon's STM? When the Canon is paired with 80d the Dual pixel auto focusing is crispy and completely silent.
      You can never compare the Canon with the Yongnuo.
      But for budget friendly, the Yongnuo is good.
