from pictures I've seen with NX S 16-50, corners are ok/good but not best. at 16mm, good corner at f4-f5.6. 24mm is good at f4, 35mm at f4-f5.6, 50mm at f8-f11.

kitlenses like 18-55, 20-50 and PZ 16-50 perform better because they are made and corrected for overall performance, especially corners at expense of speed and light. I think biggest consideration of S 16-50 lens is it's higher acutance or noticeable contrast level compared to the kit lenses. I hope Eric make test for lens contrast also.

do not know but maybe BSI might be able to improve corner performance of S lens. maybe S lens is built for BSI NX1?

Hmm, true I think, corner performance may be improved.
