Product ReviewsSamsung NX 30mm f/2 Lens (Black) pancake

Can fit my NX1 in a cross-body bag using this lens

It's lightweight, gives very good image quality, and with an NX1, it fits in a Terminus Mini EZ cross body/sling bag together with a 1 liter bottle (although just barely, you could fit smaller items more comfortably). For street photography, you wouldn't scare people with an "overpro" lens like the 16-50mm S that Samsung has while still getting very good images. For food photography, a wide aperture is welcome, especially in places where the lighting might not be strong.

The only minor gripe I have is the autofocus noise, which might creep into videos. I have not took any videos with this lens and an external microphone yet so hopefully there should not be any.Read full review...

Always ready 30mm pancake.

This Samsung 30mm pancake has the optical quality combined with my NX500 that I can have a ready shot. The images can be cropped quite a bit and still be beautiful.
Then I can choose my other lenses if I decide to. I use 43-52mm rings and added 52-58mm rings without any vignettes issues. The pictures are cropped from a quick vertical photo. Read full review...

No brand like Samsung.

Because Samsung stopped producing their fantastic cameras I was forced to sell it, in good time

Samsung 30 mm

Functional lens with normal 45mm equivalent field of view for the apsc sensored Samsung's. Compares favorably with other normal ranged lenses in my collection.

ideal combination of size, speed and field of view

Hard to find any fault with this lens - very small, fast, slightly wide, and produces great pictures. I seldom shoot at f/2 but image quality is still very good at that setting. The only issue is finding a hood or filters for 43mm - but NX 20mm f/2.8 also takes 43mm so accessories can be used for both (assuming hood is wide enough for the 20).Read full review...

Very satisfactory.

I use this lens with an adapter on a Samsung NX Mini camera with an external flash and it is excellent. Landscape and port rate alike. It is a very high quality, flexible lens at a very reasonable cost. I hope this review will be of help for other photo hobbyists like myself!Read full review...

Very nice lens.

More than what my son expected. He is able to take photos with more creativity. Lens has very quick focus and sharp images. Manual focus is very smooth. So far so good.

Great walk around lens

This little lens is great for walk around photography where you don't want to carry a heavy, bulky lens, and it won't stand out and scare people (who are naturally shy of professional photographers). It is sharp and the fast f/2 opening will let you work in low light without cranking the ISO up too high. It has a somewhat of a plastic feel but will probably hold up OK given reasonable care.Read full review...

Must have pancake lens for NX

Love this lens as my to goto lens for portraits and awesome closeups. Also makes it possible to fit my NX camera into my actual pocket which is a major win. The price is steep but I was willing to pay it.Read full review...
