Can fit my NX1 in a cross-body bag using this lens It's lightweight, gives very good image quality, and with an NX1, it fits in a Terminus Mini EZ cross body/sling bag together with a 1 liter bottle (although just barely, you could fit smaller items more comfortably). For street photography, you wouldn't scare people with an "overpro" lens like the 16-50mm S that Samsung has while still getting very good images. For food photography, a wide aperture is welcome, especially in places where the lighting might not be strong. The only minor gripe I have is the autofocus noise, which might creep into videos. I have not took any videos with this lens and an external microphone yet so hopefully there should not be any.
Always ready 30mm pancake. This Samsung 30mm pancake has the optical quality combined with my NX500 that I can have a ready shot. The images can be cropped quite a bit and still be beautiful. Then I can choose my other lenses if I decide to. I use 43-52mm rings and added 52-58mm rings without any vignettes issues. The pictures are cropped from a quick vertical photo.
No brand like Samsung. Because Samsung stopped producing their fantastic cameras I was forced to sell it, in good time
