2-2,8/16-50 OIS

what would be an acceptable price level for a 2-2,8/16-50 OIS ? (assuming this lens can be found 2nd hand in the EU at all). Too big for an NX500 ? (in which case I would also need an NX1)

Thanks,

Gerrit Snoek, NL.

I would say that, judging by recent sold eBay prices, 400-450 euros would be reasonable.

It is a reasonably large lens, but not out of place on the NX500 if you didn't care about it being less of a compact set up.

Ideally it should be married to the NX1 though!

too cheap for me... 500-550€ plus postage... that's my opinion, at least on ebay... be careful, you need a good tripod for that combo... it is too heavy in the front...

I don't know, if you have one hand supporting the lens, it can work pretty well, and is a nicely stabilised lens.

As for the cost, I was just going by actual sold auctions. For an as new copy I'd say that 500 euros would still be reasonable.
