Hello!

I'm going to buy Samsung 16-50mm F2-2.8 ED OSS and will use it for portraits mostly on my NX30. Could anybody share some portraits made with this lens (35-50 mm wide open)? Any thoughts about this lenses, is it good choice for portraits or not?

It would be a fine choice for group shots and full length portraits but I'd want a little longer for head and shoulder type portraits.
