2: 18-50mm

3: 30mm 2.0

4. 18-200mm

5. 16-50 PZ

Very difficult question you asked us. But we can see that Samsung can produce good glasses. The 30mm Pancake is a real good lens, imho.

Wow, very surprising. But I found it very odd that 5 is 16-50pz because my 16-50pz produce a very rich color (definitely not the coolest lens of the bunch) and I don't think it would be sharper than the 30mm pancake (image 2) at 30mm.

It might be subjectively better under the used test parameters: "Let's see how do Samsung lenses perform when we set the focus appr 20 inch / 50cm away from the sensor. So we shoot pretty close this time and look at two focus points."

But the pz worsens when the focus points are set farther away as they might be in landscapes.

I could not guess that!

You should try another copy of the 20-50, that was the worst permormance on the corner where my copy is always best on corner in my test.

Anyway you kill my will to buy a 30mm lens!
