You're welcome, krloz.

As with the primes, 16/2.4 was not that bad. Stopped down to F/4 the image quality was quite nice. I also had 20/2.8 which was a bit sharper than 16/2.4, but never used it too much, as I always preferred 30/2 and its awesome character. Maybe it depends on a certain copy, not sure. In that case my 30/2 was a fabulous one. Still cannot understand how could they accommodate that much lens in such a small housing.

There's also a 45/1.8 prime, never used it, but maybe someone can comment it a bit? Seems like a decent prime with its max. 1.8 aperture. I think they also had a version with 3D effect somehow built in the lens - need to figure it out also (Samsung named it 2D/3D lens).

Good luck with your decisions with NX500 and once the decision is made, it would be great to hear your first impressions!
