Re: Rank the lenses available for Samsung NX!

Thanks for the reply!  I'm already loving my 30mm as well.  And the 45mm is definitely on my short list.

Ranking the lenses I have purely by IQ (and not, say, focussing speed):

30mm

60mm

16mm / 12-24mm

18-55mm

....

18-200mm (I was unhappy with this one)

From what I can tell from this forum, the general consensus is that the 45mm is up there with the 30mm, the 20mm is not as good as the other primes, and the 20-50 and 16-50 PZ are both better than the 18-55.

I'm thinking about getting the 45mm, as it's reputed to be very fast to focus (the 30mm and 60mm are both quite slow), but then I'm wondering if I should just save for the 16-50 S instead....
