Review: Great upgrade lens for the Samsung NX camera - The Samsung EX-51855 lens is a great upgrade to the Samsung 20 - 50 mm lens which comes with the NX2000 compact system camera. It achieves a much quicker and sharper focus than the 20 - 50 mm lens with no compromises on the image quality. The lens also comes with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) which works great even in low light situation. The lens also has the same length in the retracted position which is great for storing in my existing camera case. One thing to be aware is that the lens diameter is 58 mm, which means that we would need to consider a new set of filter since the Samsung 20 - 50 mm lens is 40.5 mm in diameter. However, the EX-51855 lens mechanism does not rotate during the focusing which makes it a lot easier to use with the polarizing filters. The lens package also comes with a lens hood and a storage bag. I think Samsung should have used this lens as part of their NX2000 compact system camera package. It would have made the camera perfect.
Review: Great lens - While I almost wrote "great kit lens" I pulled back. It was not a kit lens for me. I got the 20-50 with my NX300. The 20-50 is a great lens optically but with its rotating front element and noisy focus it just seems like some corners were cut. You cannot fault the 20-50 performance. I messed up a bunch of photos with motion blur and while I had read that the 20-50 was superior optically to the 18-55 I thought that the OIS would be helpful to me . I was correct that the OIS was right for me. I also like the quieter autofocus. The non rotating front element is a plus should I want to use a polarizer filter. The 58mm filter size is a surprise but this lens that I bought is very good at all things. Has great bokeh which is unusual for a zoom in this price range. Seems resistant to flare and I have not yet shot anything that would show distortion. My lens a version III has a metal mount and I function. I confess the I function is new to me and maybe not a plus or not. The OIS is either off or on via the menu there is no switch on the lens. The quality level seems much higher than the 20-50 but as I stated the 20-50 produces quality images. So I got a great lens on desertcart from Jae Yoon and the transaction was without a hiccup.

Excellent lens - A little bigger than the older I Had, a compact 20-50 ..which started with an 00 error and ended, a month later with a dead diaphragm, making all the photos totally dark. I m very satisfied with the Samsung NX 18 55mm
