Is the yongnuo yn50mm f 1 8 df dsm good for video?

I don't have video test results for this lens, so I can't give you a verdict on how it performs when filming. Here's what the lens page does say. It's a 50mm f/1.8 prime with autofocus and no stabilisation. On full frame it's a standard view, and on APS-C it frames like 75mm, which is tight for most video work.

If you're shooting tripod-mounted talking heads or cinematic shots, it's a sensible prime to try. It fits Sony E and Nikon Z bodies, including the Sony FX3 and the Sony ZV-E1. If you're vlogging, my video guide favours a wider lens, around 16-20mm full-frame equivalent. Whatever you shoot, sort out sound early too. See the audio section.
