Trying the 18-55mm with NX200

An earlier thread; http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/51204432 ; got me thinking about my lately never used 18-55 lens that I got with an NX10 three years ago. Since aquiring the 30mm at the same time, then the 20mm, then the 16mm; all at very good prices, the 18-55 was all but forgotten.

So, I put the lens on the NX200 to give it a workout. Here's two at the wide end (where I have been using the 16 or 20mm primes instead):

For my purposes it performs as well as the wide primes on landscapes and architecture. Plus it's nice to have the moderate zoom ready to go and the OIS. However, with the size/aperture advantage of the primes they will be on my cameras more often than the kit zoom. But, I'm not going to neglect anymore the 18-55 when the situation warrants.
