Thanks for the heads up. I guess that the counterfeiters did not think that anyone will send these low cost lens for servicing and users will probably blame any poor quality image or poor reliability to the 'low-cost'.
This must be an official licensing scheme, Canon would never allow such an obvious copy being sold. Also, the lenses 'copied' are pretty old: 50 f/1.8 and 35 f/2.Yongnuo has been pretty much copying canon lenses for the past few years. Fortunately they brand it under their own name.
Hmm true, their 50 f1.8 STM and 35 f2 IS are pretty fantastic lenses too. But optically the canon and yongnuo lenses are different no? Just that cosmetically they look kind of similar right?This must be an official licensing scheme, Canon would never allow such an obvious copy being sold.

It rather looks to me as if Canon will soon release something new and they can easily give away the old designs to other manufacturers.
If I am not wrongly Yongnuo 50 & 35 have problem in AF at LiveView mode, esp with older camera without dual-pixel AF.Hmm true, their 50 f1.8 STM and 35 f2 IS are pretty fantastic lenses too.
