Yongnuo yn50mm f 1 8 da dsm vs 7artisans af 50mm f 1 8 aps c?

Both are 50mm f/1.8 autofocus primes for APS-C, and both frame like a 75mm on that sensor. Neither has stabilisation. The big difference is mounts. The 7Artisans AF 50mm also fits Nikon Z, while the Yongnuo YN50mm f/1.8 DA DSM covers only Sony E and Fujifilm X. If you shoot Nikon Z, the choice is made for you. Otherwise, the camera lists are nearly identical, so the decision comes down to price and build, which I can't compare from here.

If you're on Sony E or Fujifilm X, either will give you a classic portrait lens. I'd lean towards the 7Artisans for the extra mount support. For the reasoning behind a 50mm for people, see portraits, and for the bigger picture on lens choice, see lenses.
