Re: Testing 20-50 vs 18-55 right now!

I`ve always seen the 20-50 as a superb 20mm F3.5 prime which can zoom if you`re desperate .......

what saddens me is that Samsung still haven`t made another kit lens to match it optically, what I`ve seen from the Samsung Powerzoom didn`t fill me with confidence (it reminded me of the Sony version)  - all the 18-55s I`ve tried have been poor at the edges at the wide end , they need to do something about this as Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Fuji and Panasonic all have fantastic kit lenses which wider ranging and are or can be stabilized ..

with Sammy it seems to be either the humble 20-50 or the megabux 16-50 F2-2.8 Pro lens if you want a decent zoom - all I want is a copy of the Fuji 16-50 F3.5-5.6 (XM1 kit lens) for my NX210 .
