Frankly, if so this is just terrible ... This would imply that it is basically unusable for landscapes. Stopping down to f/11 "solves" most of the issue but you're already way into diffraction at...

http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/camera-camcorder/nx-system/nx-cameras/EV-NX200ZBSBGB-gallery?subsubtype=nx-style You can see that the lens doesn't show the mk II here as well.

There are two Samsung codes: EX-S1855IB = mk II EX-S1855SB = mk I See also http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/camera-camcorder/nx-system/nx-lenses/EX-S1855IB?subsubtype=zoom-lens The...

We purchased this lens in a kit with the NX200. It would be a little odd if they bundled the initial version. Anyway, as some pointed out here the mk II has iFn whereas the mk I has an OIS...

It is off-limits for us to purchase the 85 just for testing purposes. After the test we would need to sell it and the expected loss is not justified by the amount of ad revenue. Regarding the...

Well, the plan is to test all lenses. However, this depends a bit on the community. Usually we either purchase the lenses for testing or use community-supplied lenses. Manufacturer relations just...

The tested sample was very sharp on the focus plane but this does not help when extreme field curvature renders the border region out of focus. Frankly I can't really imagine that this is a normal...

At the time we verified the vignetting issue via RAWs but it didn't make a difference. I was very puzzled by this actually. I can only guess admittedly. As far as I remember - the NX10 has a...

:-) Yep, soft corners @ f/2.4 and f/3.2. Pretty sharp beyond. Heavy (native) distortions though. cheers Klaus photozone.de

I think if a fixed lens is fine for you there'll be nothing better at the moment than the Fuji X10. The Q is about flexibility - e.g. the fisheye. There'll certainly be more cuties coming - an...

As you may have noticed from the images I took the camera on my last vacation. It was a joy to use it and I did not regret to take it. However, compared the my GH-2 images the results are clearly...

Technically this would be interesting, yes. However, we would run into resources problems so I'm afraid that we will have to stick to testing lens systems rather than digicams. Klaus photozone.de

Yes, but the X lens has a transport position. The referenced 14-42mm has none which is why I chose it for comparison - the Q lens has no transport position either. The Panasonic lens isn't quite...

We mentioned numerous times that the results are not cross-comparable between different test systems. This is actually true for all lens tests based on image sensors (aka DSLRs/EVILs). Cameras...

Well, the G lens is full format, a half stop faster and, of course, much better on the mechanical side. Slower lenses are much easier to design which does often result in superior image quality....
