Damn I wish I had a 12-24, now my 16-50 is dead (Error 00) and I cannot find another one (there is mostly 18-55), or a 16mm 2.4 at a decent price.

I did my last roadtrip mostly using the 30mm, lol. Although it's a great lense, it was sometimes a pain to get a great landscape.

Too bad with the NX 16-50mm f/3.5-5-6. I think that is one of the best kit lenses ever produced by any manufacturer. When I wanted to buy a NX 16-50, I just bought a whole kit with NX2000. It was cheaper to buy the whole kit than a separate NX 16-50mm.

I never enjoyed the 16mm f/2.4; probably because I have a 12-24mm, and I feel that 16mm is for rare evening pictures where low light is a concern (although NX500's sensor is more than capable in low light; still the highest ranked APS-C sensor on dxomark) .

NX 30mm f/2.0 is a fantastic sharp lens and it gets used the most for indoor pictures. It is the compactness of NX 20mm f/2.8 and NX 30mm lenses that detract me from Sony E system. The equivalent lenses for Sony are considerably larger, which beats the purpose. With a NX 30mm or a NX 20mm, you can carry the camera all the time in a jacket. It is not possible to do the same with Sony E cameras with similar lenses.
