Outstanding performance: nearly zero distortion and razor sharp. This lens is so small the NX100 becomes almost pocketable when it is attached. I only wish it included a lens hood in the box and had an i-Function button.
Highly recommended and much loved.
Pros: sharp pictures, very small, excellent handling, standard filter size
Cons: no i-function button, lens hood extra
I would recommend this to a friend!

My first NX lens -- best decision I've made

About two years ago I decided to upgrade from a point and shoot camera to a DSLR-level camera. At that time the new interchangeable lens cameras came out. After much deliberation and online researching, I decided to buy the Samsung NX with the 30mm pancake prime.
I couldn't have made a better decision. Samsung has delivered on that and provided a high quality design, made mostly of metal that has lasted my use and abuse over the past years. With most prime lenses, image quality is superb, and the 30mm NX is no exception. Famous photography blogs reaffirm that the lens is, for all practical uses, aberration and distortion free, with great sharpness throughout the frame across the aperture range.
On technical grounds, the lens is virtually flawless.

Although I am a novice photographer, the 30mm lens has frequently provided me with exceptional pictures that I share with friends and family. (once my skill improves, I plan on submitting to contents as well)
With this lens' compact size, I can easily carry my NX around my shoulders all day, barely noticing the weight. Whenever I see an opportunity to shoot, my NX is always within reach. Portability is another quality of the 30mm
At F2, this lens is very useful when it comes to photographing in low light. Although it is not perfect for shooting in the dim light (then again, what lenses are?) It's large aperture allows me to capture moments that I would never have been able to capture at all.
Because of this lens' quality, I will definitely invest in the upcoming 85mm and 16mm NX lenses (if they are in my price range)
All in all, if you own an NX camera, this is a must have lens. And if you are thinking about getting an NX camera, this should be your first lens (and maybe a zoom on the side ;)
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, discreet, excellent in low light, portable
Cons: focus wheel not "rangefinder" style, focus motor should be faster
I would recommend this to a friend!

Winner lens

Research NX lenses and you'll find near universal love for the 30 f2 pancake. It is tiny, light weight, and optically great. Giving a near normal FOV it works great for general photography. This lens makes an NX camera a wonderful and serious upgrade from a P&S camera without having to add huge size. The f2 aperture will earn its money in lower light where a P&S will struggle and/or us its unflattering flash.
Pros: Inexpensive, size&weight, very good iq

Wonderful, little lens.....

Use without flash in lower light conditions, out performs my Nikon 50mm f1.8 on my NX300. Makes the NX300 almost pocketable, while capturing excellent images. You can't beat it for the price!
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight, sharp
Cons: no ois

Love this lens , on the NX300 you have a compact ,lightweight carry it all the time camera.
I added an aftermarket Optical View Finder to the NX300 that improved my ability to quickly snap a photo without viewing the image on the LCD

"Must have" NX lens

I think this is a "must have" lens for any NX camera. The portability and quality of the lens really complements the NX10. Super sharp, and produces lovely portraits.
Pros: Durable, Lightweight, indoor use
