Last year, Yongnuo launched a budget 100mm f/2 lens for Canon mount. There was a word then that Nikon version would come soon – and it seems the time for that has finally come. Not only they will soon present us with the 100mm f/2 lens for Nikon, but they’ll also introduce a pancake 40mm f/2.8. Both lenses will be for Nikon F-mount, aimed primarily at full frame cameras.

It seems that so far the company has been focused more on launching products for Canon. They only offer a 35mm f/2 and a 50mm f/1.8 lens for Nikon. However, according to the post on Nikon Rumors, two more lenses will soon be available for Nikon shooters.

Both lenses come with durable metal mounts and multilayer coating for increasing transmission of light and reducing glare. The 40mm f/2.8 will have six aperture blades, while the 100mm f/2 will have nine. A handy feature of these lenses is the USB port, which allows you to update the firmware of the lens to maintain maximum compatibility and performance. They both have manual and autofocus, and while they are intended for full-frame cameras, you can use them on crop bodies as well.

Here are the more detailed specs:

Yongnuo 40mm f/2.8

Focal Length: 40mm

Structure: 4 groups 6pcs

Aperture Blades: 6pcs

Minimum Aperture: F/22

Minimum Focal Distance: About 0.3m

Maximum Amplification Factor: About 0.18x

Driving System: DC Motor

Filter Diameter: 58mm

Maximum Diameter and Length: About φ74×45mm

Weight: About 130g

Yongnuo 100mm f/2

Focal Length       100mm

The equivalent focal length under 35mm APS-C format specifications     About 160mm

Structure: 6 groups 8pcs

Aperture Blades: 9pcs

Minimum Aperture: F/19

Minimum Focal Distance: About 0.9m

Maximum Amplification Factor: About 0.14x

Driving System: DC Motor

Filter Diameter:               58mm

Maximum Diameter and Length: Aboutφ76×83mm

Weight:               About 440g

For now, Yongnuo 100mm f/2 is only available for Canon, and the 40mm f/2.8 is still expected for both mounts. There is no pricing info yet, but the 100mm f/2 for Canon is under $170, so I assume the Nikon variant should be around the same price. According to DPReview, the lenses could come as soon as later this week. So, if you’ve been waiting for budget lenses like this for your Nikon, keep an eye on Yongnuo’s Amazon and B&H store.
