Rated 4 out of 5

Great Optics!

Great lens, it is fast and accurate in most cases. I shot video and photos of kids in a semi-dark environment with the NX500 and it focused really well when in continuous auto focus but it failed when in single AF mode. It literally failed, as in wouldn't even try to focus until I tapped the screen to set a focus point. It might have better results if you do the custom range but I have not tried that function yet. In the final analysis it is by far and away better than the 50-200 lens but is also much heavier and bulkier. The good news is that when I switched it to continuous it was quick and accurate, much like a DSLR with a 70-200 2.8 lens. It looks a little funny on the NX500 (make sure to hold it by the lens not the camera) but it is at home on the NX1 and is a great complement to my favorite lens of all time, the 16-50 2.8 S lens.

About Samsung 50-150mm f/2.8 S ED OIS Lens, 4 ED/1 XHR Elements, Optical Image Stabilization, Splash/Dustproof, 72mm Filter Diameter

The Samsung 50-150mm f/2.8 S ED OIS Lens features the NX mount and is a Premium "S" Series lens. It offers a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 77-231mm, making it suitable for portraits as well as sports photography and wildlife. Regardless of the focal length selected along the lens barrel, an f/2.8 maximum aperture can be selected to benefit low-light shooting or provide shallow depth of field. For a wider depth of field or to compensate for high shutter speeds that may otherwise be needed under very bright shooting conditions, the lens can be stopped down to f/22.

Consisting of 20 elements in 13 groups, including four ED (extra-low dispersion) and one XHR (extreme High Refractive) element for excellent clarity, detail and sharpness, this 50-150mm also includes optical image stabilization. This feature helps prevent user movement from rendering an image unusable while handholding the lens and a compatible camera. An Ultra-Precise Stepping Motor (UPSM) improves upon the conventional Stepping Motor (SM), offering three times the precision in its ability to focus on subjects.

To make this lens particularly useful for sports, wildlife and variety of subjects frequently recorded outdoors; Samsung has incorporated SHS (Samsung Hyper Shield) Coating that protects the front element from dust, water, fingerprints and smears.
