Yeah, I love the NX500 also. In fact, I regard the kit 16-50 PZ with a little more high regard than you do.

I`d describe it as a passable 16mm F3.5 prime which zooms if you`re absolutely desperate .. the downside is that the long end is pitifully softer than the Sony version (not suprising as the 20-50 is also) but the wide end is far better - the Sony is literally a fisheye at 16mm , one which produces black corners ..

Right now, in addition to acquiring Samsung cameras where you can, I also suggest to folks to pick up an extra 16-50 PZ or two while you can.

One is more than enough thanks - I may try a MK3 18-55 though (the Mk1 was awful) .

16-50s go for about £100 in the UK so not cheap here  . I`d rather have the 16mm prime, it`s just as good at 50mm and is F2.8 not F3.5
