    I finally got a new lens for my Canon -- the Chinese really do know how to reverse-engineer shit.

Oh please share. I'm in the canon camp and always looking for cheap glass (and nice glass)

YongNuo 50mm f/1.8. A clone of the Canon 50 nifty. It's got better bokeh...

That's a great lens; a friend suggested it and found me a deal in 2012, $92 for the Canon lens with free shipping. I am no pro, nor a big spender, so I can't complain about the kit lens. But when he let me borrow his nifty fifty on a visit to Cars & Coffee, I got my best shot of the day.

There's a Canon sale going on at B&H now, with some lenses going for far less than a new car.

Awesome. If I didn't already have the canon version I would have considered this. Thanks!
