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.
DxOMark’s scores have become a point of contention for many photographers over the years, but considering the company at least tests all the lenses on this list consistently, Yongnuo’s presence here is notable. The overall score of 51 is tied for the second highest and its score of 53 on sharpness specifically puts it at the top of all lenses in the top 10 optics the organization has tested.
What is even more remarkable is that Yongnuo has achieved these high marks while being significantly cheaper than every other option at the top of this list by a considerable margin. The 85mm f/1.8S DF DSM costs , which is significantly less than the Sigma 85mm f/1.8, which asks $1,200, and the Nikon Noct which costs $8,000, which very well might be worth the tradeoff for scoring slightly less than both.
