I have the 16-50mm and the 50-200mm NX Lens which I LOVE, does this do anything especially awesome?

I have an NX1100 (thinking about getting an NX300) and I use this lens for at least 95% of my photography. This lens makes my camera easily pocketable in cargo shorts or a light jacket. The f2.0 makes it quite good for low light (I shoot a lot of bands with mine.). In short, small, light, fast, good low-light. Oh, and it's very sharp also. It just depends how much all that matters to you, and how much it differs from what you already have.

Yes! I have one for my older version the D7000 and it is a really nice little lens. Anyone really into photography would love it unless they already have a 50mm prime lens. Mine does great shots at nightclubs, in low light, and for portraiture ( it is more like a 80mm lens or so on my D7000).

I too own a D40X and want to try this lens...have a Sigma 18-200mm lens but want to get another lens that offers sharp fotos of mountains...my currents lens cannot do that, but I do love its versatility.

Yep! I had this for my D40 and the D50 is essentially the same body. Terrific lens, btw.

If you're using the kit 18-55mm/20-50mm Lense, it will absolutely give you additional zoom. 20-50 is an equivalent 2.5x zoom, 18-55 works out to be a 3x zoom and 50-200 is an effective 11x zoom. I have this lense and use it with my NX20 and love it. It's bit more precise, with less vignetting than the kit lense. It will be pretty huge on your NX1000 though, just FYI.

I have shot 3 weddings with this lens and I haven't had a problem with it, it's been great. I have used the 70-200 and its just a bit faster that the 80-200 but I can't really tell the difference.

I don't have experience with those other lenses but I can tell you it is an amazing lens and worth every penny. I use it to shoot weddings and also do a lot of artistic shooting with it of flowers and stuff like that. The background blur is incredible.

Yes, I use it for my 100-400 you're fine with your lens and I highly recommend it.

I have a Canon T2i and two Tamron lenses. The 17-50 is my primary lens for landscapes, cityscapes and indoor general purpose use. Yes the lens works great! Huge improvement over the Canon kit lens! Here are some images I took: http://www.flickr.com/photos/baitmouth/ The most recent were taken with the 17-50.

Works great with the 70d. The key to getting great images is the lens. On my 18-135, the results were mediocre. On my 50mm, the results were excellent.

It is a slight bit better than the 50mm 1.4...way better than the 18-55. It's not up to an L lens quality but it does slightly beat out the build of my 50mm 1.4

Yeah, just make sure you turn on the "release without lens" option in the menu. I use it with my old Canon 100mm f2 and it's great.

It is a great lens. Focus can be touchy so i will switch to manual when photographing people so as to get exactly what I want crisp. The 1:4 gives gorgeous depth and beauty to the photos although with my profession ( newborn photography) I will try and shoot around a 2 to get a bit more in focus

I use my Sigma 19mm exclusively on an EM5 and am quite pleased with this combo. Quick focus, sharp images and looks and feels great on OMD too.....also have the Sigma 60mm lens and it is superb!

I've had the 50mm 1.8 and the kit lens, and I can definitely say this will blow both of them away! This is essentially a high-quality upgrade from the kit lens, and in my opinion gives at least as good an image result as the 50mm prime - but with the range of a zoom. The 35mm I don't have experience with, but I would still bet that the Sigma would compete just fine :)

It's worth every penny, especially if you take portrait shots. I do not have the 18-200, but I have the 16-85 VRII. While the 16-85 is a great lens for outdoor shots, landscape and group photos, the quality of portrait I get from the 85 1.8 (or any prime lens for that matter) is way above any all around zoom. Most pictures I take with this lens are worth keeping.

The lens you have is a zoom lens. This is a prime lens. Meaning you can't zoom with this but on the other hand 50mm is good in low light situation. Its Shallow depth of field will make picture look good.
