Thanks for the review. I have the 16-50 S lens on the NX1 and mainly for 4K video shoot. The S lens is very sharp but lack of the power zoom feature which is useful for video. So I am interested in this PZ lens and want to know how smooth is the power zoom in and out performance on the lens. Could you share it with me?

Thanks!

The zoom is nice and smooth, and it is good that it is slower in video mode. However, it is not parfocal (like almost all zoom lenses for cameras): zooming in it will shift focus. Zooming out most of the time there is no focus shift (good).
