main disadvantages:

*AF / MF focus mode switch does not work with some cameras (lens always uses autofocus)
*no hood included; non-bayonet type hood
*the diaphragm control makes a noticeable noise
*original lenses are more compact and with a smaller filter diameter (52 mm for Yongnuo 25 / 1.7, versus 46 mm for PANASONIC 25 / 1.7 and OLYMPUS 25 / 1.8)
*no USB port for firmware updates
*poor backlight resistance, noticeable vignetting at F / 1.7
