Any opinion on the Samsung NX 50-200mm f/4.0-5.6 OIS Zoom Camera Lens for use with NX1?

Sendeva, thanks for posting the comparison. That is really helpful. I do see some extra sharpness from the 50-150mm S. That really is nice. But I think what you said makes sense, that the 50-200mm is still an excellent lens at that price.

Hey I have both lenses and I do prefer the 50-150mm S lens over the 50-200mm that being said I will now do my own compare of the 2 lenses.

Samsung 50-150mm S is bigger and heavier then the 50-200mm lens it also doesn't extend from the lens when zooming, It also is weather sealed and has a better OIS then the 50-200mm.

Samsung 50-200mm doesn't weigh much at all good for hiking and it does perform quite well. It might not be as good as the 50-150mm S Lens but it definitely is worth the price its listed as.

I quickly snapped 2 photos from both lenses from NX1 at 150mm, shutter/100, ISO/ 200, F/5.6 and cropped them 50% for a quick compare for you.

Samsung NX 50-150mm S

Samsung NX 50-200mm

Both lenses do produce nice photos.

you cant go wrong with the 50-200mm price point and performance.

Is the 50-150mm S lens worth getting over the 50-200mm for the average person taking pictures of their kids and other thing and not doing any professional work I would say the 50-200mm is a better purchase due to low cost.

At the end of the day both lenses take wonderful photos and you cant really go wrong with either of them it just boils down to how much do you want to spend.

Hope my opinion helps.
