Premium Used Yongnuo Gear

Yongnuo from Shenzhen has existed since 2006 and became known with the YN560, a manual speedlite that worked for a fraction of the camera makers' price and with which a generation of strobists learned to flash. The YN560 IV has a built-in radio receiver, the YN685 and YN568EX offer TTL and high-speed sync for Canon and Nikon, and the YN200 is a 200 Ws battery strobe with a separate head. The RF-603 II and YN560-TX are the matching triggers. Yongnuo also builds lenses: the 50mm f/1.8 and f/1.4, the 35mm f/2 and the 85mm f/1.8 for Canon EF and Nikon F, and autofocus primes for Sony E and Fujifilm X.

On used flashes we measure the output, check the flash tube, form the capacitor, test the radio link with a trigger and, on TTL models, the communication on a camera of the right version. Lenses are tested for autofocus, aperture and glass. Yongnuo flashes are built to work, not to show off; signs of use are noted honestly.

Two YN560 IVs and a YN560-TX are a complete manual strobist kit for little money. On TTL flashes and lenses, mind the version for your camera brand; it is in the product name.
