This lens is a super-zoom that was mainly made to produce video with the Samsung NX1 body camera. Together they provide a professional level of videography. I started with Canon, then moves to Nikon for photography and Sony's camcorders for videography. DSLR are being used for video because they are cheaper than camcorders on a replacing lenses format. However, they do not provide all the options that camcorders do. After reading a lot about the awesome NX1, I gave it a try and it is the first time I have a single device capable to deliver both photos and video in a professional level. Despite Samsung made the mistake of putting on standby its NX line, this camera and lenses are still available and Samyang is making more lenses. Perhaps Samsung will bring back this line and send to the market the nice lenses we saw on some shows. I fully recommend the NX1 for serious videographers on which case this lens is a must have despite it may look expensive. But this happens when you find a product that is apart of the rest. The soft zoom, the range, the silent and fast autofocus, the front does not turn allowing filters, the list of pros is endless. For domestic travelers, this lens may be the most simple way to achieve a large range without having to change lenses. However, for serious photography you may prefer to use two lenses instead of this super zoom. For professional videography, this lens is a must have and together with the Samsung NX PowerZoom 16-50mm, you are all set even for videography from drones or steadycams.Read full review

This is a great lens and should be the only lens you need for normal situations. We just got back from a Holiday trip and it was used everywhere from zoos to museums to cloudy outdoors scenes and performed great. I cannot comment on video as I didn't use it for that purpose.

This lens is simply go-to lens in a hurry. You can depend on it for images of high quality corners to corners- tack sharp, distortion-free, minimal chromatic ab. And that’s through most of the zoom and apperture ranges. There is a color cast that reminds of its little brother kit lens. It is a darkish red cast that must be a characteristic of this lens family. But you won’t notice it unless you’ve been used to another lens for a while. Like with any lenses, it is just a peculiar look of this lens.

Great solid lens. A little on the expensive side but overall a good lens. Pics are sharp but this lens is really good when doing video. Would recommend at the right price.
