My order arrived postage free after 17 days from Zhen Zhen, China. I promised to give information on this lens (introduced last year) to "royden from Dallas, GA." This is a near clone of the Canon 100mm f/2 lens introduced many years ago and is selling today at ~ $350 - $500; so you can do some $ saving. I paid only $169.69 for this brand new lens. You can look up the specs and other information by searching on the web (I searched on Ebay: "Yongnuo YN100mm F2 Medium Telephoto Prime Lens for Canon EOS Rebel Camera P3H1"). Having received it last Friday, I've been using it to shoot indoors and outside in the neighborhood. My impression? Pleased with the speed it has in dark rooms!! Pleased with image quality (IQ) too!
It weighs 13.6 oz.; has AF & MF (with manual focus override); 9 aperture blades for asteral effect, blurs background and highlights the subject in F/2 aperture; has quiet DC focusing motor; it is a PRIME 100mm lens; filter diameter 58mm. So-- it is nearly like the prime Opteka 85mm f/1.8 lens except it has Auto Focus which is very helpful (I own both). After all - China has come a LONG way in technology, so I'm trying their photography products! I have a Canon T1i (500D) crop camera but works on any Rebel (crop) or EOS (full frame) also 5D, 5D IV, 1300D, T6, 760D, 1D, 5DS etc.
Any comments, anecdotes, etc. welcome. Here are two photo examples:

A Tsingtao, maybe?
The YN 100 f/2 looks interesting at that low price.
