Hello community,

I've purchased a used 50-150 and it should be arriving in a few days. I'm looking for 50-150 owners who are very familiar with the lens to give me some tips on testing and what to look for (first time buying used)

From research it looks like I should be checking 2 things with this particular lens (outside of checking the glass)

1. Zoom ring noise when zooming

2. Mounting issues when the lens is mounted

Also...

a) Does anyone know where I can buy the tripod extension for the lens? Google hasn't been helpful and it doesn't look like samsungparts.com is still carrying it.

b) I've read you can change the focus distance to improve focusing? How do I go about doing this?

c) There also seems to be a switch (full, custom..) under the AF/MF that I'm unfamiliar with on the lens.

Thanks!

It may be a SamsungParts lens, how much did you pay for it? This is an answer to the people wondering about the NX system, there are incredible offers happening throughout this system, unparallaled to any other.
