Wondering about user impressions between these two zooms on NX1 -- stills and 4k footage. Pricing is getting sharper on these lenses, Movie Pro at $678 and the 50-200 F/4.0-5.6 OIS at $229 -- seems an incredible price, but is the lens of any quality? The big 50-150S F/2.8 ens still in the $1600 range .
There are user reviews indicating the OIS does not function on NX1 on the 50-200mm. Not sure whether this is true, and whether this has been corrected with a firmware update?
The 18-200 lens isn't very good for stills according to reviews and all the feedback on forums. And that price isn't "sharp"; it's been that price for months and months. I've heard it's pretty good for video but I shoot mainly stills and probably wouldn't buy it if it was half that price. The 50-200 is a good lens but not outstanding. I'd say it's worth $229 new. If I didn't have one I'd considering it. OIS works for me.
