See it on Amazon Little official information on the Yongnuo 85mm f/1.8N, but it would seem that the two lenses are extremely similar, if not totally the same. The picture…

We all need batteries to operate our flashes. Using non-rechargeable batteries can quickly turn into hell. First, this is not very green (not ecological), and after a while it represents a significant budget (not economical). I have been using only rechargeable batteries at home for a few years now.
