Hello everyone,

Hope you are well.

I am thinking of getting a NX300 and I was wondering which lens I should go with? I am buying it used from Amazon and the brown one comes with a 20-50mm lens, and the black one comes with the 18-55mm lens. I do not mind with either focal length, so I was wondering if you can help me decide which lens to go for.

Many thanks and have a great day.

I never used the 20-50mm, but for me the deal breaker was the lack of IS compared to the 18-55mm.  The former is a bit smaller, but for me the slightly larger size was worth it because IS allowed for smoother videos and shooting in low light where slower shutter speeds became necessary was much more forgiving.
