Re: Rank the lenses available for Samsung NX!

I cant really say that I prefer one lens to others. I love 45 for its IQ, sharpness wide open, AF speed (not lightning fast, but fast enough). I love 20-50 for IQ (thats enough for this lens ), and for sure I love 85 for... Well, for just being great 85mm lens

By my frequency of use:

45

20-50

85

I used to have 18-55 III as kit lensbut got rid of it. My copy had noticable decentering (right side and especially lower right corner was blurry even at f/8), and 2 other copies at Samsung service had same issue so there was no sense to change my one. I got great 20-50 instead and happy with it. I use it in good light and more than satisfied with sharpness even at corners and IQ overall. For most cases I use 45 and find it pretty versatile lens. As for 85... Well, its perfect for portraits and not so perfect for other kind of photo. But i will look forward to give it a chance 85's IQ and bokeh are awesome.

I had a chance to test 10 and 16. Those are great lenses too, though I liked 10mm more (especially when you have good copy of 18-55 or 20-50 or 16-50). As for 30mm - I dont feel I need it despite it is considered as best Samsung lens. As I said, I have 20-50 for good light and 45 for low light.

You won't make mistake with any lens anyway. They all are great. Well, except 18-200 maybe
