Samsung 30mm NX Pancake Lens

 

The Samsung 30mm NX Pancake Lens ($299 list) is a compact prime lens for Samsung NX cameras. Compatible with the APS-C NX camera system, the 30mm lens is the equivalent of a 45mm lens in classic 35mm photography, just slightly longer than a true...

Compact. Sharp. Fast aperture. Inexpensive

No iFn control. Hood not included. Noticeable distortion in Raw images

Though some distortion is noticeable when shooting Raw images, Samsung's 30mm NX Pancake Lens is very compact and extremely sharp at all apertures.

Samsung NX 30mm F2 Pancake

 

Smallest interchangeable lens camera with an APS-C sensor ; Good image quality ; Very reliable metering and white balance in most shooting situations ; Excellent build quality ; Generally well-thought-through interface and ergonomics ; High...

Auto ISO will all too readily result in shaky photos ; Steep tone curve gives harsh transition to blown-out, white areas (as seen in Panasonic G series) ; Noise reduction in JPEGS can be destructive (especially in Smart Range mode) ; Several functions,...

The NX10 proves it's possible to offer an APS-C sensor and interchangeable lenses without the mirror, prism and general bulk of a DSLR design. It's a small, likeable camera that is readily capable of matching the image quality of its peers but a few...

Samsung 30mm f/2 ?Pancake? Lens

 

The 30mm f/2 ?pancake' lens offered with the NX10 body is the only prime lens in the NX series so far. However, it's scheduled to be followed by a 20mm f/2.8 ?pancake' later this year and a 60mm f/2.8 macro lens may be added some time during Q4 1020 or...

The overall performance of review lens in Photo Review's Imatest tests was generally, although resolution was well below expectation at the widest aperture settings and only exceeded 2000 line widths/pixel height at f/3.2. The highest resolutions were...

Samsung NX 30 mm f/2.0

 

The beginning of January 2010 brought us a very interesting launch. The Samsung company showed to the world its new photographic system, based on a small mirror-less camera, marked as NX10 and equipped with a 14.6 mega pixels CMOS sensor, manufactured...

very compact barrel and sensibly fast at the same time ; excellent image quality in the frame centre ; good image quality at the frame edge ; chromatic aberration very well corrected ; well-corrected astigmatism ; good work against bright light ;...

frame edges could have been a bit sharper at the maximum aperture ; noticeable vignetting

Samsung NX 30 mm f/2.0

 

Simply the best lens I've ever had for my Samsung NX, but at that time I used to prefer using zooms. Now I thing I would be very happy with it.

Not priceyVery good image quality even wide openCompact

Nothing really, except 30 mm (equivalent 42) can be a bit weird in APS-C
