Canon doesn't currently like anyone making autofocus-equipped lenses for its RF mount, but Yongnyo keeps doing it. The latest is a 35mm f/2 lens that is finding its way onto store shelves internationally.
Yongnuo has announced the YN 50mm f/1.8 Z DA DSM prime lens for APS-C Nikon Z mirrorless cameras.
When it comes to protecting its intellectual property, Canon is among the most litigious. Whether printer ink or lenses for the RF mount, the company spends significant effort shutting down unregistered third party brands. From the outside looking in, this can come off as petty, aggressive, or even greedy.
Yongnuo has announced a new and affordable YN50mm f/1.8X DSM Pro lens for Fujifilm X-mount. In addition to supporting autofocus, the lens integrates a small OLED display, similar to what Viltrox used on its recent 16mm f/1.8 lens.
Yongnuo, a Chinese maker of lenses, lights, and cameras, has released a new camera designed for live streaming called the Yongnuo YN433.
The $379 Yongnuo 85mm f/1.8 Z DF DSM lens is among the first third-party prime lenses available for the Nikon Z system that not only has an impressive autofocus system, but also boasts a customizable Lens Function button (L-Fn) and control ring.
Yongnuo has released a new affordable 35mm f/2 autofocus lens for Nikon Z-mount cameras. The 35mm f/2Z DF DSM costs 1,799 at full price, which is just shy of $250.
Yongnuo isn't a name often associated with high-end optical excellence, but perhaps that should change. The company's 85mm f/1.8 lens is listed in the top three of all lenses based on its overall DxOMark score.
Yongnuo has announced a new autofocus-quipped YN85mm f/1.8 for Nikon Z-mount cameras in China that is very inexpensive given the performance the company promises photographers can expect.
Yongnuo is reportedly taking the wraps off its latest attempt at an Android-based Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera. It's called the YN455.
Yongnuo has announced the YN 85mm f/1.8R DF DSM mirrorless lens for Canon RF mount. The company claims that while the lens boasts a small and lightweight body, it does not skimp out on quality performance.
Yongnuo has announced the 25mm f/1.7 lens for Micro Four Thirds on its official website today. While the construction appears to be designed to be affordable and lightweight, the company also claims solid performance.
Yongnuo has announced the second-generation YN685 Speedlite for Canon and Nikon cameras that makes minor changes to the flash's performance without straying too far from the original design.
Yongnuo has already released a mirrorless camera system designed to be used in tandem with a smartphone, but the company seems to be interested in iterating on that design further. According to a new patent, the latest design looks more seamless and user-friendly.
Yongnuo has announced a new flash that includes a built-in ring of LED lights around the main flash unit that can act as a modeling lamp. Called the YN650EX-RF, it is also an unusual ovular shape.
Yongnuo is no stranger to affordable alternatives to first-party products. What started with its cheap speedlight alternatives shifted to remarkably affordable mostly-plastic lenses, and the latest full-frame 35mm f/2 lens for Sony E-Mount is the latest in the company's large library of options.
Ever since it was first announced in late 2018, the Yongnuo YN450 represented something of an experiment. Only available in China, the YN450 is half-Android phone and half ILC, complete with a proper lens mount and a Micro 4/3 sensor. Does that make it the perfect camera/phone for photography enthusiasts? Not really...
Yongnuo has unveiled a new 50mm f/1.8 lens, expanding its "nifty fifty" lineup to include the YN50mm f/1.8S DA DSM for Sony's E-Mount APS-C cameras. We don't have a price yet, but we expect this to be the cheapest 50mm lens you can buy for Sony's a6000 series once it hits stores.
The 12-year-old Micro Four Thirds standard just got a nice third-party boost today. In a joint release, Olympus and Panasonic announced that three new companies were officially joining the group: Yongnuo, Venus Optics, and a B2B company called Mediaedge.
Budget brand Yongnuo has announced a new version of its 35mm f/1.4 lens for Canon DSLRs, adding an ultrasonic motor and USB port to the lens, but otherwise keeping the design largely unchanged.
After teasing releasing teasers for the YN200 pocket flash and YN560-TX radio transmitter last month, Yongnuo officially revealed the Godox AD200 clone and the TTL and HSS compatible transmitter this week, hoping to reclaim a bit of the budget gear market that Godox has all but taken over.
Yongnuo is teasing that it has a new pocket flash on the way. Called the YN200, the product will look strikingly similar to the popular Godox AD200 (AKA the Flashpoint eVOLV 200).
Yongnuo has quietly launched a new affordable autofocusing Canon EF to Sony E lens adapter. It's called the EF-E II.
Yongnuo teased and revealed a smart mirrorless camera called the YN450 late last year, and the unusual device sparked a good deal of attention. The YN450 was just on display at the CP+ 2019 show in Japan, and cinema5D spoke to a rep for this 4.5-minute video that provides us with a better idea of what this camera is.
Just a few days after teasing its upcoming mirrorless camera, the Chinese company Yongnuo has revealed some basic specs: as we suspected, it'll be an Android-powered mirrorless camera that supports Canon EF lenses.
Guess who's planning to join the mirrorless camera war? Yongnuo, the Chinese company best known for creating cheap clones of popular Canon and Nikon lenses.
Yongnuo has announced the new YN 50mm f/1.4N E lens for Nikon F-mount cameras. The lens comes three months after the Canon equivalent was unveiled.
Now that Yongnuo is more established as a third-party lens maker, the company is slowly distancing itself from the lens designs it copied from Canon lenses early on. In addition to replacing its original 50mm f/1.8 "Nifty Fifty" clone, Yongnuo is now also updating its 50mm f/1.4 clone with a new YN50mm f/1.4.
Yongnuo's original 50mm f/1.8 lens was announced in 2014 and received quite a bit of attention for being a clone of the Canon "Nifty Fifty" 50mm f/1.8 II. Now the Yongnuo lens is getting its own Mark II followup: the Yongnuo 50mm f/1.8 II.
Yongnuo is getting fancy. The Chinese manufacturer best known for making clone lenses and other camera accessories has quietly revealed a new smartphone add-on called the YN43 that turns your smartphone into a Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera.
