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

I agree... if the 20-50 was stabilezed it would have win against the 20mm f2.8. Maybe this is the reason why the 20-50 has no OIS!!!

The 20-50 Probably has no OIS because it had to be as cheap as possible for the NX100 , I think the optical superiority of it was more an accident than anything else ..

I`ve had three (original NX200 Mk1, White NX1100 Mk2 and the black NX1000 Mk2 I have now on my NX210) and all of them have been better than the one 20mm prime I tried at F3.5 , none have been much good at the long end though - I analysed it and the 20-50 seems have more of a front focus issue at 50mm than actual optical design  problems ..
