A compact normal-length prime designed for Canon EF-mount DSLRs, the YN 50mm f/1.8 Lens from Yongnuo pairs the classic 50mm focal length with a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture to suit working in a variety of situations.

An AF/MF switch on the lens barrel permits quick switching between focusing methods, and the lens can focus as closely as 1.5' to suit photographing close-up subjects. Additionally, gold-plated contacts permit working with all exposure modes as well as transferring lens information to the EXIF data. A tried-and-true lens construction with design enhancements to benefit handling, this lens is an ideal walk-around lens for everyday shooting.

They are very similar. Not easy to tell the difference if there is any. The only thing is that if there is any malfunctions with the camera and lens, canon will not honor

Wondering if there's an ETA on when this will be made available? It seems like the previous question is dated back to Mid March, hoping that it won't be another month before it will ship!
I have been waiting since I placed my order on January 20th, 2015!
