Re: 18-55 STM vs Tamron vs Yongnuo

I dunno much 'bout the tamron lens. But what I can say is this:

I just upgraded to the f/3.5-5.6 version of the 18-55mm IS STM and am very happy with it. It focuses practically silently!

I've heard the yonguo lens is pretty bad - as only get it if you absolutely can't afford the canon version. If you want a 50mm, get either:

  1. Canon EF 50m f/1.8 II
  2. Canon EF 50m f/1.8 STM

The STM version is better, but more pricey.
