Yes, Sonny, you are right! It's an f1.8. My bad.
Can anyone tell my the proper pronunciation of Yongnuo?

Nice. It is well reviewed at the price point. But, looks like it's an
f1.8 in the literature.

My mechanic's wife was given an old, Canon Rebel XTi, from 2007. It
works, but the lens did not, so we needed a replacement.
Because she knows not what she is doing (she's taking my beginners
class, in two weeks) we needed a lens that (a) worked and (b) did not
cost too much.
The solution was the Yongnuo 50/2, from China. Brand new, for US $48,
delivered!
I've been playing with it... and it's a bit slow to focus, and hunts in
dim light (not sure if that's the camera or the lens or both) but in
decent light, it's OK, and the f2 makes the Rebel's rather dim,
porroprism finder quite decent to look through. About the only thing I
don't care for, even at the price, it the plastic bayonet mount. But,
with only one lens, it won't wear out quickly!
For sharpness, it's not going to put Leica (or Canon, or Olympus or
anybody else) out of business, but for sub $50 lens, I thought it OK
for something to learn on. Actually, it's remarkably good, when stopped
down to f4. Take a look!
