Mileage may vary. Cheap is not always better.
While an almost exact copy of the Canon OEM model that functions just like the Canon version. the build quality is just not there and forget trying to claim service under warranty.
Bought five of these units from the "improved second batch" and 3 failed with separate issues within 10 weeks of purchase.
The units are cheap (both in build and quality), but in the long run it was not worth the investment as they failed one by one. To get repair under the warranty Yongnuo wanted them sent back to China. Shipping costs alone made it not worth the endeavor.

Tamron created a winner!
2 of 2 found this helpful I've tried a number of 50mm (and near 50mm lenses) in my work from all of the major brands. They all have struggled to produce sharp images wide open or suffer from inconsistent auto focus... until I got my hands on Tamron's new 45mm prime with vibration compensation.
Fully wide open at 1.8 the Tamron produces sharp images from corner to corner aided by the inclusion of vibration compensation built into the lens - something no other manufacturer even has bothered with on their 50mm offerings. The color saturation is brilliant and crisp. Yes, I love this lens.
It's design is much stronger than the weakly built Canon 1.4. If you've owned the Canon 1.4 for any length of time you know how fragile the autofocusing mechanism is. You can't set that lens down on it's face without damaging the helicoil... I know it's a repair I've had to have done twice.
While this lens is not 1.4 like the Sigma Art lens it does not suffer from the autofocus inconsistency issues that plague the Sigma. Art is nothing more than a word dreamed up by their marketing department to hype a lens that in my opinion can not compare to Tamron.
Give the lens an honest try and I think you'll come to the same conclusion I have. This is the best of the 50's or near 50mm lenses.
