Yongnuo YN 85mm f/1.8

Pros: Solid, full-time MF, used price, great blur, precise AF.

Cons: AF slow, a bit soft at TA.

Opinion: It is a lens that I bought 80 euros used, practically a third of the Canon counterpart (always used). It allowed me to delve into the genre of portraiture, spending little. It is definitely not a blade, a TA is a little soft. Personally, I am not very interested in this aspect. However, others may prefer sharper lenses. The very wide aperture and focal length give a considerable blur. I was impressed with the construction. The plastic is good, and the front as well as the bayonet are made of metal. The MF bezel is fluid and precise, and poses the right resistance. The autofocus is slow and noisy, but it is also very accurate. It is a great optics for the low price at which you can find it used. I would not recommend it new, since adding something could access the Canon counterpart (used), with better autofocus and higher image quality. I update the review to say that the lens works perfectly with both the Canon EOS-1N, and the 40D.

Canon 40D

Pros: Monolithic body, affordable cost, perfect for learning.

Cons: Sensor dated and yield at high ISO.

Opinion: It is an extraordinary camera: used socket for less than 100 euros with 3k shots, it returns in the hand a solidity of a true professional. Excellent ergonomics - I have quite large hands - each key is in the right place and easy to reach. Sufficiently customizable in the various menu settings. Excellent burst, the autofocus is not at the level of the most modern, except for the excellent central point. The sensor is now old, but I don't find it obsolete. Magnificent photos were obtained with this sensor, it is still extremely valid. Also for this reason I think it is perfect to learn: you can not recover errors in postproduction, but correctly exposing the photos produced are exceptional. The files are really good and light. For the price at which you can find today, you can not ask for more.
