PHOTO THREAD: Samsung 16mm f2.4
5

Following the ongoing success of the photo thread started by JimmyHBG here , why don't we have a thread specifically for each lens? It's always nice to see more photos, and it would also be a good resource for helping to answer all of the "lens x vs lens y" questions that come up. I'll start this thread for one of my favorites, the 16mmm f2.4.

Taipei, Taiwan

Add your own photos with this lens!

If the idea seems to work, we can start threads for all the other Samsung mount lenses too.

Gorgeous photo. I don't have this lens so can't post anything but hope others post some samples.

Sorry this is not a photo from the 16mm but I found it interesting when I saw your photo, I recognized that specific scene!

Then I realized that I found it on Samsung Smart camera flickr page! Not exactly the same, but close though

Beautiful twilight/cityscape - nice use of the 16mm. Here's one from almost two years ago:

Re: PHOTO THREAD: Samsung 16mm f2.4

Individual lens photo threads won't really answer questions about x lens vs y lens, but they are invaluable for getting people to do more of what's important: taking photos! The less time and attention devoted to some of these threads (we know which ones I'm talking about), the more time devoted to using the gear and taking photos!  

My only concern is that there really aren't that many photos blowing up the NXphoto thread so breaking them up will "drain the pool" more. C'est la vie. Perhaps they will indeed increase the influx

There's a hill overlooking Taipei with maybe half a dozen good spots to take photos.... to be honest most of the photos taken from these spots look very similar, I was happy with mine but there's not much originality here

Here are some of mine. The 16mm f2.4 doesn't get a lot of love but I think it's a really useful lens and such a great size. My NX gear is basically the 16, 30 and 45.

Great idea for a thread! Also loving the Taiwan shots, I spent 3 years in Taiwan although that was pre-NX and my later shots from there don't use the 16mm (there are some on my flickr), so here are some 16mm shots from Lake District and Scotland.

All aboard!

I do not have a chance to grasp 16mm lens, so I try 10mm to achieve super wide angle photo

Taken by 10mm f 3.5 after de-fisheye

Thanks very much, Geoff, that is much appreciated. They were all with NX100 or 10 for anyone wondering (I see exif is stripped when posting from flickr).
