Samsung 30mm f/2.0 NX Pancake Lens

 Images above are from the Samsung website.

I love using fast prime lenses. I like it when the aperture number is really low (like f1.2 to f2.8). My favorite aperture is f2.0 because I love bokeh. I just recently purchased a used but mint condition Samsung 30mm f2.0 from an online seller and I paid like half of the original price! It's really a steal. I read a lot of good reviews about this lens and I really agree that this tiny lens is amazing! I already have the Samsung 20mm f2.8 but this lens is better.

The  Samsumg 30mm f2.0 has a field of view of 45mm (30mm x 1.5 crop factor). I know Samsung is a bit underrated when it comes to camera but I believe their lenses are really good.

PROS:

• Very compact. Great for travels.
• It is very sharp wide open! I used f2.0 and it's very usable and sharp!
• The bokeh is creamy.
• Auto focus is silent and accuracy is excellent
• Has virtually no distortion
• The built is solid. It has a metal mount.
• Great for low light!

CONS:

• No image stablization (OIS)
• No i-Function button (Not a big deal for me)

Here are my sample photos. I used Samsung NX300 + Samsung 30mm f2.0.

Conclusion

I highly recommend this lens. 9 out of 10 stars!


Thank you!
