Anyone using Yongnuo's 35 f2?

I have thought about getting Yongnuo, also. I have had the AF-D 35/2 (maybe two of them) and did not think highly of the lens when used at or near wide open. I am sure that the 35/1.8 Nikon AF-S is better, as is the Tamron prime, but both are a lot more money.. You can cheat and use the 35mm DX Nikon lens on FX bodies, corners are a little dark and murky, but this gets better up close.

I've had the Yongnuo 50mm 1.8 N which is supposedly a better lens in quality than the 35mm. When I could get it to focus properly, it was my sharpest lens at the center. Edges not so much. But it has been so completely erratic and unpredictable on my D3400 (unless focusing manually off the sensor in live view) that after two months and a few thousand exposures I actually put it out in the garbage today. I wouldn't push this lens off on anybody for money. Sorry, to report this way. But true.
