Yongnuo YN 50mm f/1.8 II Announcement

Business-wise, it would not be rational if Meyer-Optik-Görlitz has been still offering the 50mm f/0.95 lenses only to the owners of mirrorless cameras.  That's why today's premiere - Nocturnus 50mm f/0.95 DSLR, a lens dedicated to the owners of full-frame Canon, Nikon and Pentax cameras, should not surprise anyone.
