I have just bought the Samsung 50-150 for a great price but my excitement was slightly dampened after finding that F2.8 lens on APS-C is really equivalent to F4.2 full frame lens. Is this true?

This great article might help clarity things for you:

If you read the paragraph under "Aperture" you will find the following answer "f2 is f2 is f2 and f8 is f8...period.

Hope this relieves your anxiety about your lens purchase because this is a GREAT lens.
