I've used my S mount lenses on the NX500. As compared to using it on my NX1 where I hold the camera and support the lens, on the NX500 I tend to hold the lens itself. No issues.

I do the same.  It does make it a bit harder for me to adjust the settings and use the touch screen as efficiently as I do with a smaller lens.

I'm still looking at getting an NX1 to with the s lens.  I know this thread isn't related to the performance of the 16-50s but for my current needs I'm not sure if it would get much use from me.  In that range I have the 20, 30 and the 45.  Soon i'll also have a 35 manual.  This gives me a ton of options with different features in that same range.  Even my 50-150 sometimes takes a back seat to my rokinon 85.  I just can't duplicate that nice bokeh that lens offers.  In exchange of that I get a really sharp picture that is sometimes a bit too sharp.

There is a guy who sometimes post here that hang his 50-150 from a strap instead off the camera.  It allowed him to walk around without having to hold onto that lens the whole time.
