Samsung 30mm f/2 NX Pancake Lens Review

Samsung 30mm f/2 NX Pancake Verdict

This lens delivers decent performance at a reasonable price. The unusually bright f/2 maximum aperture is a real bonus, extending the low light capabilities of your NX system camera.

It's a shame the clarity towards the edges of the frame isn't up to the high levels seen in the centre of the frame. If edge to edge sharpness is required, ensure the lens is stopped down to f/5.6 or beyond for best results.

	The Samsung 30mm f/2 Pancake lens extends the low light capabilities of the NX system at a good price.
