Overview

(From Samsung lens literature) Thanks to its ultra-wide angle, the Samsung 12-24mm F4-5.6 ED lens is perfect for either capturing dramatic landscapes or shooting in confined interior spaces. It is the ideal companion for the travel photographer, weighing in at only 208g and with a compact, portable form. The image quality is also heightened by one extra low dispersion glass lens and two aspherical glass lenses that guarantee superb sharpness and low chromatic aberration.

    Pros: size and weight, quite sharp

    Cons: could be a bit wider (but I wonder how much bigger that would make it)

    A very nice lens. Provides comparable performance to for example the Canon EF-S 10-22 (possibly the Samsung is a bit sharper), though not quite as wide as the Canon. Size and weight of the lens is great. I wish the lens was a bit wider (10mm at wide end), but perhaps it couldn't be as small then. An essential lens for the NX-system.
