16-50S vs 50-150S @50mm.

Hi,

Just a comparison between my two lenses @50mm.

Center (crop x4)

Corner (crop x4)

Center (crop x6)

Corner (crop x6)

A lot of reviews state the 50-150S sharper @50mm in the center and corners. Indeed the lens is sharper in the corners but not at the center.

The 50-150 is a bit soft at all focal lenghts wide open in the center but becomes very good @F4.

I only found 1 review that shows the same result : https://www.wimarys.com/samsung-nx-50-150mm-f2-8-s-ed-ois-premium-zoom-review/.

I'm a bit disapointed because the center sharpness is the most important for me and the 16-50S is very very good in the center wide open. Nevertheless, from F4 the 50-150 is perfect.
