Samsung NX 16-50mm F2-F2.8 S First run

GetaGrip · Jun 26, 2014

After reading and viewing so much posts and site's with this lens - I couldn't resist to buy it and try it. I have to weeks to decide to keep it or return it....

First impression: really fast focus, quiet and not to heavy compared to 85mm which I use a lot.

Some photo's taken this afternoon from my son and processed with LR 5.4/CC. Comments are welcome, I'm still learning

Looks great! I really like the out of focus regions from the lens. I like the shots, especially the first.

Very nice photos - looks like the lens performed beautifully.

thank you. I have been missing that kind of field depth with my 18-55 kit lens. also, it is great lens for general use. atleast something that you can finally use with NX with significant picture quality improvement.

Thanks Eric, What I really like on the first shot is the skin tone from this lens. I also use a Fuji X100 quit a lot for that fact and trying to get the same toning with the NX lenses.

It's not the same yet, but I'm getting there...

That's true - but a very expensive one.

But for me the fast focus that comes with this lens is very welcome, especially taking photo's from a two years old son is a real challenge most of the time with the 85/60mm or Kit lens.

With this baby it's a breeze.

thank you with the report of AF. if it is faster than 18-55 kit lens, then I would love it a lot. I find 18-55 already fast but still can miss shots. also, I think Samsung needs to address better hardware or software. O/S and firmware. I struggle with camera freeze and delay.

He have you had a chance to try it in low light? Would definately like to know how it compares against the kit lens in that situation. I am thinking of pulling the trigger next week been on the ledge for quite some time. Anyone have any recommended outlets with added value?

GetaGrip · Jun 26, 2014

Of course... tell me what you want. A static shot with handheld or tripod? or something outside the house? Sunset or something?

erandhawa · Jun 27, 2014

Just something regular handheld. I really liked your outdoor Park images. I've got a 1 year old who loves the outdoors.

Walking the dog in the evening in the fields and a photo of the table in the garden when it was raining... Hope this help you.

Just received my cash-back for the 16-50 - £200 The Samsung offer is still running I believe. Trade in any old digital camera (must be working). I sent in an old Fuji that's been in a cupboard for years.

For the people who want to see samples. Take in full sunlight/inside the house (low light)/Evening and proccesed in LR5.5 and/or CC.

Hi there, Sorry but I missed this one, first time around. I like this set, especially the first. Your son looks to be of the correct age, to be a long suffereing model for your escapades with your cameras. Thanks for demonstrating the DOF of the lens and the bokeh. Very nice.
