Re: OIS performance - 16-50 S vs 50-150 S

My 16-50 S has pretty good stabilisation I think.

I can consistently get sharp shots with the lens fully extended to 50mm @ 1/8 sec. 50% of the time I can get sharp images @ 1/6 and rarely @ 1/4 sec. Seems to be in line with other similar lenses I have owned.

I have nothing but praise for this lens though. It is a brilliant "do everything well" lens.

I had the 50-150/2.8 as well and that did seem to have amazing OIS for sure.

The OIS in the 16-50 S teamed up with the DIS of the NX1 makes hand held video really easy now.

Would have loved to have seen the next NX1 update ... oh well !!
