are these right out of the camera without any processing? I am wondering because I purchased the lens today with the NX200 kit. They look great but maybe I would apply a tad of sharpening to them.

Maybe I should apply some more sharpening after resizing?

In the past when I resized my pictures these often looked a bit overprocessed so I am now I bit reluctand to sharpen too much. But maybe it would be necessary.

Sharpening seems fine. Were they handheld? I can imagine at those exposures, there will be some motion blur in that case (or even a lot), which make them appear less sharp.

Actually I took this shots only to try a very lightweight tripod, the Slik Sprint PRO 3Way II, to see wether it can hold the 50-200 as this is my heviest lens.

Very nice! Keep posting more 50-200mm pics, because I am interested in buying it and barely anyone on this forum does post any!
 
My 50-200 is on backorder and that is what prompted me to check out the OP photos. Sure, I comment on sharpness, but, I am nonetheless impressed with the IQ.

Not being a telephoto lens shooter I will probably sell mine when it arrives to obtain a pancake lens.

Thomas - just wondered if you switched off the OIS? Keeping it on when mounting the camera on a Tripod can actually generate loss of sharpness.

General consensus is to keep image stabilsation OFF when on a tripod - particularly if using a remote trigger.

Another factor I'm just beginning to get some understanding of in relation to NX (and other cameras) is softening caused by diffraction - particularly in fine detail. (Thanks to Benjamin Marsh and others in another forum)

This might be something worth being aware of especially as you chose to use F13/F14 apertures. These could make your images softer than they need to be.

See here for more detailed explanation.

There is a case for limiting aperture on the NX100/NX10/11 for somewhere between F8-F11 max. From my reading of the issue - peak definition is achieved just before diffraction kicks in.

It's a rather complicated matter of impact to images as there are many other factors that affect sharpness and images may be more affected by other quality issues first, but assuming you have a good quality lens and camera combination, diffraction can then come into play.

I always disable OIS when using tripod. I did the same when I used Pentax DSLRs with in camera shake reduction.

I use the 50-200 a lot in studio environment and there I learnt that it is fine until f14. I avoid f16 and f22.

Here are 3 photos, not much to look at but pretty normal output for me. First processed with LR3.6, then used LR4 to update today.

I used the 50-200 on the monopod while hiking. Haven't done that much, but it's very comfortable for me that way. Makes it very easy to use the EVF. Almost always I have the 30mm on the NX.











 
Thanks for that info Thomas,

While it's interesting to know about the theoretical, knowledge from the field is generally much more useful.
