Amazingly sharp and compact October 28, 2010
By McM
Amazon Verified Purchase
Tack sharp and so small it almost disappears on the front of the camera. I use this with my NX100, and the whole package is nearly pocketable with this lens mounted.

Autofocus is silent and the manual ring has a good feel. Manual focus is about a half turn from near to far. There's no i-Function button on this lens, and while it would be a welcome addition I don't really miss it too much.

No noticeable distortion even wide open.

Best Lens For NX System March 24, 2011
As of March 2011, this is the best and fastest lens for the Samsung NX system. It is equivalent to about 45mm on full format cameras (a typical standard prime lens). It is made of quality plastic with a metal mount and the front element does not rotate.

Auto focus is nearly silent and accuracy is excellent. Manual focus is smooth. Distortions and vignetting are minimal to non existent. I have spotted some purple fringing in extreme contrast situations at F2 but that's typical. It's very sharp straight from F2 and becomes excellent by F4.

I use it on a NX100. Great combination. Would make Henri Cartier-Bresson proud. :) It really brings out the best in this camera. If you turn off the distortion correction feature, the continuous shooting buffer doubles from 7 to 14 jpegs. And from 3 to almost 6 for RAW. In addition, when you set the kit lens (20-50mm) to 30mm it's fastest aperture is F4.5. That's over 2 stops slower than this pancake lens! I never have to use flash with this lens. Makes my camera pocketable (large pockets).

Do wish it had the i-function button and was faster to F1.4 but keep the pancake design. As is, it's really a 45mm F2.8 lens in regards to depth of field on full frame 35mm. This is okay, but at F1.4 image isolation could really stand out. The price seems high in comparison to the Nikon 35 F1.8 DX which costs less than 200.
