OK, this thread was the result of the recent fast prime discussion for a Nikon D850. It seems some folks think the idea of mounting a $70 dollar prime lens on a $3000 body is like casting pearls before swine. I'm more of the "what the heck, let's give it go" school of lens selection. Here is that thread.
http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-521601-1.htmlThe lens has been ordered, due here on Tuesday, April 3rd.
This Yongnuo lens is so inexpensive that it can't possible be fantastic, but just how usable is it? Let's find out. I just ordered this lens. Since I have DX Nikon bodies, for me it will be portrait length. I am going to try this lens out for a few days and then send it on to one of you to do the same. I'm thinking I'll post just two photos here, one from among my best shots with the lens, and one that I think highlights a limitation that I find. I expect anyone that participates in the tour to do the same.
To participate, you have to be in the lower 48 states of the US. You have to have a Nikon of course and be an active member here. You must agree to keep the lens for two weeks or less, pack the lens as if it were your own, and send it to the next person.
If you're interested in participating please respond here and include your zip code so we can define a first circuit that keeps the shipping costs down for each user. For example, if we have several people in California that are interested it would make more sense to string them together. So don't expect to be included in the order you sign up. As the lens owner, I will try to shepherd it along in an efficient manner. Addresses can be exchanged only as needed via PM from the current lens holder to the new recipient.
OK, let's have fun.
