YN lenses aren't bad, they just aren't good. They're okay. But, for being okay, they're dirt cheap.

They have a very particular audience, and truth told, the bang for your buck is off the charts with them. But, for around 2-3x the cost, the real Canon Mccoys are of course better.

It's not copy variance that's the issue, optical formula itself / copy baseline (probably the latter) is a bit weak, which you've noted you've got to go to f/4 for sharpness vs the Canon variant is sharp around f/2.8-3.2.
