Buying a Samsung NX300 - 18-55mm or 20-50mm lens
The brown one is gorgeous when you see it in person...

...however, IMO, the 18-55 is the better lens. But then that opens up the reality that kit lenses tend to have copy-to-copy variations in optical qualities. The 18 MM wide end of the 18-55 is equivalent to a 27-28 MM wide angle field of view and it has IS in the lens. The 20 MM wide end of things on the 20-50 gives you even a less angled view, and it does NOT have IS in that particular lens.
If you wind up with the brown version and the 20-50 lens, PM me and if you're in the market, I can sell you a new (was part of a kit - never used) 18-55 III with a metal lens mount - for only $95 shipped. I know that statement sounds like an opportunistic one - but at least you wind up with both lenses. It's a good copy also (had to test it on the NX300 when I first got mine). It's just sitting in the box (NX300 box) and right now I have the 16-50 PZ and some primes that I use with the NX300. So it's yours (or anyone else for that matter) if you (they) want it.
