I agree, great lens! I would add focusing speed to disadvantages, but apparently it's a common issue for small pancake lenses. The tiny size of this lens is wonderful.

I agree focusing speed could be better but the question is if it is lens or camera issue?

I use it in NX10(11) and of course contrast AF is slow as it is from that time but I  require precise AF system.

Setting focus area to small size allows to get very sharp pictures on point we want  ff/bf issues free this is the most important.

In the past I've experienced ff/bf issues from DSLR. Speed is nothing without exactitude!

Let's hope NX1 will be a camera we are dreaming about.
