I believe you can also put together a Samsung NX lens set cheaper.

The price in Amazon for the trio Samsung NX 12-24mm, 30mm f2, 45mm f1.8 is pretty good. It is also the smallest size among the apsc cameras, its my default travelling lens.

I tried to throw samsung and M4/3 in the mix for fun. They are a lot harder to match up exact apples to apples. In almost every case these two lag behind the first three. In samsung case you do get smaller less expnsive lenses. M4/3 You are paying the same money and getting large lenses without the benefits. Anyone that reads this can feel free to edit it but now that there are five columns this can get messed up quickly.

Team Samsung reporting!

I own a cheap but effective NX1000 which came with an NX20-50 kit lens. In my opinion, having used it a fair bit and having studied all the lens reviews, this may be the best (and cheapest) kit lens in the mirrorless world.

Most of their other lenses are delightful too, including the 3 pancakes and the Samsung 85mm f/1.4 ED SSA NX. Ephotozine says:

"The sharpness this lens delivers is excellent, and although the price may be high when compared to other Samsung NX lenses, it isn't when compared to 85mm f/1.4 lenses from the likes of Nikon or Sony."

Roger and out.
