Which NX lens do you use more often?

There are more and more NX lenses available, many very good primes, some decent zoom. I find myself using more and more the 45mm, since I got it. It's really a good "all-arounder", with very fast af and great iq. Before that, my most used lens was the 30mm. So, if you have to give just one answer, which is the lens that, at present, you use the most on your NX camera?

p.s.: I already included the 10mm fisheye, so that it will be selectable in the future, when it's available.

I am in trouble I don't use any .

I use 45mm the most , but if I had 30mm I'd use it probably the most thanks to its versatility and pancake size. Other lens that I use a lot for video is a kit zoom lens 18-55mm which is a very nice lens indeed.

Seems like the 30mm will win easily

Ps for the person who voted for the 10mm....do you already own it??

been out longer & is a great lens - impressed how well the 45mm is doing for a new lens & for me at least has pretty much become default lens

Looks like I was the first person to vote for the 12-24mm -  I love this lens! Since getting it, most of my photos have been taken with it. The 24mm end is long enough to feel "normal" to me, and it makes a great walkaround lens outside on holidays, which is when 80% of my photos are taken.

Second choice would be the 30mm, which I still use (with the 16mm) a fair bit for inside shots and if I want to fit the camera into a small bag.

I found I use the 20-50mm the most as it has a good balance of picture quality and range. Next would be the 16mm f2.4. The only reason I don't use the excellent 30mm f2 that much is because I always reach for legacy lens in 35mm whenever possible.

Interesting results.  I can only answer in one way since I just got a NX 210 and only have the 18 55 zoom. Naturally I would  like to progress to series of prime lenses  . It appears that Samsung has a bit of the printer business in them. give the printer away at very low prices and charge plenty for the ink.

would those who have purchased a number of Samsung lenses comment on value for money.  Are  the lenses really so good that  their results surpass their price?

I have all the primes, but the 85mm. Managed to get them all at very good discounts, except the 30mm. As I can only speak for myself they have certainly been worth their cost.

Edit to the above:

Maybe I should add that I also don't have the 10mm fisheye - forgot about that one. The 45mm being my newest I'm using it a lot right now; before that the 16mm was seeing a lot of use (and I'm sure in the future will see very steady use). The 30, 20 and 60mm's all see somewhat less use; probably in that descending order. My two zooms have a hard time making the lineup.

When comparing the NX, NEX, Fuji, and MFT systems recently, it seemed to me that the NX lenses were the some of the least expensive given close equivalent FL and max aperture... I might have been looking at certain FLs more than others, though. Just curious if there are particular lenses that seemed especially expensive to you.

I'm trying to avoid buying too many primes, because I really don't like changing lenses much. Lately, 18-55mm and 50-200mm are my "full" set taken for a major outing. For the simplest kit, just the 18-55mm. Today, I wanted compact and light, so I carried the NX20 with the 30mm attached in the front of a waist pack, and the 16mm and 20-50mm in the back part.  We were on our bicycles, so stopping to change lenses wasn't that convenient, but I didn't change too much. It worked out okay, but there were times when I wished I had simply used the 18-55mm on the camera, and carried the 50-200mm as the alternative. That would have a required a a different bag setup, but I've done it before, so I may do likewise on future bike rides. I use a Lowepro Edit 110 secured to my handlebars to carry the camera with the 18-55mm, and a Lowepro Rezo 60 to carry the 50-200mm on my belt.

It's nice to go small and light with the pancake lenses, but they often don't have the ranges I really need. The pancake lenses do provide somewhat better results, but then I would also miss shots that are also important to me. Both the 18-55mm and 50-200mm have OIS, while the others do not. Sometimes that is important to the shot.
