Comparable AF speed of Samsung lenses?
1

My experience with Canon and Nikon is some lenses focus much faster than others. I ordered the NX1 and the 50-150 f2.8 on September 15, and apparently the body is available to ship Friday, but they have no information about when the lens will be available. The reason I ordered the NX1 was to test the AFC to see how it compared the the Nikon D3s with 70-200f2.8 lens. I’m hoping the percentage of AF tracking images in a sequence from the NX1 are roughly comparable to the Nikon. If I let this pre-ordered body go, I have no idea when another might be available, so I’m wondering if there is another lens I can order with the camera to test the AFC? Looking at web sites I see a 50-200 f4.0-f5.6, which is slow and very inexpensive, so the odds are its performance will not give me a reasonably accurate impression of what to expect with the 50-150. There is also an 18-200 f3.5-6.3 - more expensive, but really slow. Does anyone have experience with the AF speed of either of these lenses?

Thanks,

Bill
