Sony fe 35mm f 1 8 vs yongnuo yn35mm f 2 df dsm?

Both are 35mm primes with autofocus and no stabilisation, and both work on full frame and APS-C Sony bodies. The main difference is aperture. The Sony FE 35mm f/1.8 opens to f/1.8, so it gathers more light and gives a little more background blur than the Yongnuo YN35mm f/2 DF DSM, which opens to f/2. The gap is small, so it won't change much in practice.

The Yongnuo's real advantage is mounts. It is made for Sony E, Nikon Z and Canon RF, so it's the one to choose if you shoot Nikon or Canon. If you're on Sony, the Sony lens is the better pick for low light and shallow depth of field.

If you want a 35mm for people or groups, the portraits guide explains why. For where it fits in a first kit, see your first lenses.
