YONGNUO YN EF 50mm f/1.8 AF Lens for Nikon

I just found this lens on Amazon for $72 bucks.  Really?  What's the catch with this, why so cheap?  

I'm thinking about getting and using this on my D7500.  But I have to say, I'm a little slow to move because of the price.  

But then again, it's just $72 bucks so I might just pull the trigger.

Did you read the reviews on Amazon and B&H? Did you google? I found this:

right away, which may give you a better idea of its utility.

In short: that would be for fun and experimentation. I have a Zenitar and a Helios for those reasons. $50 lenses can be fun.

Man never heard of this company before.  But hey, the reviews are bad.  I just wouldn't hold breath.  I mean come on, it's a $70 lens.  :whistle:

Really?

They make some modestly priced speedlites that hold their own against the Nikon and Canon products. Along with other products. They've also been around for a while.
