Unless I'm mistaken, a "pancake" lens is a fixed focal-length lens that is fairly compact (right?).

I have a Samsung NX1100, which I think is a pretty good camera, but I have always found the images to be somewhat soft. I'm thinking that a fixed-length lens (25mm to 45mm, although 35mm would be ideal) would give me sharper images. Can anyone recommend a sharp lens that is not too expensive?

Let me add that I would use this lens for pleasure photography (outdoors). Can I also use a prime lens for macro shots? My macro shots are never very close -- always about 18 to 24 inches away.

30mm/2f. 45mm in 35 equiv.

For macro, there are some cheap macro extension tubes, that transform every NX lens to macro.

Thanks.
