I'd suggest you getting that NX3000 and 16-50 combo deal that often costs around what the lens would cost itself. This way if it doesn't work on the NX100, you'd at least have a camera that functions well with it.

That's an excellent suggestion but it's not widely available. All of the NX3000/16-50 kits sold by B&H and Adorama include the older 20-50mm f/3.5-5.6 ED II lens, and these cost $369, just barely more than the cost of the 16-50mm PZ lens alone. Amazon also has these same kits for the same price but Amazon also has the NX3000 kits with the 16-50mm OIS PZ lens instead for $409 so the PZ lens works out to be a $40 upgrade but it's well worth it because of the better optical performance, the wider focal length range and the stabilization that the 20-50mm lacks. There are three body/lens versions, all black, all white, and brown body with black lens.
