Is anyone try this lens on NX 210? I just purchase it and I worry a lil bit it will be good or not.

It works well with the 1000. Optical quality is pretty good. My only complaint is that the barrel is stiff, and hard to turn but it loosens up with use.

I use this lens with the Samsung NX 1000. Works great. If your camera has the Samsung NX mount then this lens should work.Why not email Samsung.

I use mine on my Samasun NX 1000. I have professional full-frame Canon lenses for many years. This little lens, on a camera with a slightly smaller sensor does amazingly well. If you are a professional photographer you should unload a truck full of money and move up to professional equipment, but I guarantee you that for a lens in this class, it will stand up to all competitors. An excellent lens for the money!

Really quite Good. This is an excellent lens. I still have mine. Maybe the photos I took with it are still on http://amazon.com. Check out Kurtmunger for excellent review of this lens.

Bill, I have a K20D also and tried this lens on it - the distortion was apparent at 18mm indoors.. I only tried the lens on the camera.. never used it as I did not get all the proper paperwork nor a lens shield with it... so I returned it the next day to Amazon for a full refund.. only because of the seller.. not the lens itself.. I'd also say.. read as many reviews on it as possible before buying..

Hello. I purchased tis lens and I can not be happier with it. The image quality comapred to the sigma to em is superior. LEss Chromatic Averration and way less distrotions on the edge of the frame on full frame cameras.Build is oustanding and I do used it for my paid jobs. Lokk at this link so you cna see some of the images of this magnificent and very good quality lens:http://fmta.com.mx/index.php/galerias-de-fotos/galeriasolimpiadas2014/64-olimpiadasclasificatorias2

Hi, actaually I have this lens and had the 16-50. I got the nex 6 last year and sold the 16-50 lens because I felt the pics came out better in the 18-55. The focus was better and pics seems crisp to me in 18-55. Yes it's much heavier and the smaller to travel with. 16-50 made it really nice to go our the city with.... But I just couldn't take a good pic with the 16-50. I got the 18-55 for about $100 used. So I'm happy.

I love this lens, but yes... I DO think you should save up for the IS version. I wish I would have. I was just a beginner not knowing what I was purchasing at the time. I am totally kicking myself now. :( Its not terrible, but I think the IS would be much better. In my honest opinion

You might have a lemon. I have the 520 and has no problem with it. Images are sharp and good.I don't have a 200mm+ lens so I haven't tried that. I have tried up to 150mm without any problem.

I got this lens for my brother, and I really like it, we used a lot. Take a look of some pictures at www.mediawork.ws

Not that this will be of much help, but I'm with you. Ordered a 24mm 1.4 (later returned) expecting the same jaw-dropping results I get from the 85mm 1.4 and it's just not there that I can see. As far as your suggestion of getting closer to your subject for pop - sure, a wide angle lens will really exaggerate the perceived depth of a shot. That's how I'd roll with it for the most part; 2' from the subject (more for DX frame), avoiding top and bottom when shooting vertical (unless you want that edge distortion; maybe not so bad on DX). The sharpness you're looking for also won't exist until you get close enough to your subject to give eyelashes and things of that nature some pixels to work with. At 85mm, it pulls these details in and paints them across, say, 5% of the frame or more. With the 24mm you may be talking about less than 1% of the pixels dedicated to what you're looking for details in. I've seen some REALLY spectacular night landscape images that were made with this lens. Also, the bokeh that lens produces is right on par with the 85mm. The issues I had with the 24mm (and the reasons I returned it) were failure to find focus at 1.4 no matter how much I helped it along and a general lack of spectacular sharpness at 1.4. At this end of the price spectrum, this has to be gold. It's real close, and quite nice at 2.8, but so are lots of lenses at 2.8. That said, I've still got this lens on my mind. If it were a 20mm 1.4 I'd just suck it up and do it. At 24 there are some other close options out there.

Yes, I am using it with NEX 6's 16-50mm kit lens. I can't speak for 55-210 because I don't have it.I am also using it with Minolta legacy MD lens with NEX-MD adapater.

I do not think you should purchase this lens for NEX3. The standard zoom which comes with this camera will give you much more flexibility. I purchased it for NEX7 which has a much higher resolution. The standard zoom is just firne for NEX3. Save your money. Good luck.

This is a great lens for the money. I use mine for all the reasons you stated, and have been pleased with the photos I have gotten. I have used it with an A700, A350, A55, and A77 and it performered great with these cameras. It is plastic housing which many think derides the lens, but I have found nothing to support this complaint. It is a good general lens, and I would buy this again if needed.

Yes, I just got this lens for Christmas and have not had the chance yet to break it in. However, I have been reading some rather scary comments and a few good ones, so I am growing a little reluctant. I will go out and play with it, but act fast in the event of making a return.

I have and it's great. Focus ring is incredibly smooth. Very well built lens!

It's a phenomenal lens ... One of my favs ! It does however have a very specific place in my lenses , meaning : it's not for everything . It's an ultra wide lens and in as much there is image distortion around the outer rim (like a bubble /fisheye but not as pronounced) ...when used correctly it's breathtaking though -- I also shoot a lot of weddings and this lens may only come out once or twice at a wedding ...maybe you're looking for something a little more rounded (productivity wise) ? You can see some sample images on my Facebook page Dreamshift Photography ...my cover photo (among others ) are with the 14mm ...if you have any further questions I'll be glad to answer them :) Jeremiah.gribble@gmail.com or dreamshift photography on Facebook :)

Really a nice lens and I believe it can. Check 'NikonUSA' for more info. It's really good close up but also a nice 'Normal' lens. Have fun and keep shooting.

Hi Jack - to be honest I've not had hands on with this lens. It was bought for my Son for his birthday. And from what I do know about it it is smaller and with the Macro capability - a more useful lens, also the 18-200 has less focal range then the newer Macro Lens. Seems to have pretty good reviews and as my son uses it for digital video - he's pretty happy thus far. Sorry I can't be of more help.Chuck
