Samsung 12-24mm f/4-5.6 ED Lens Review
Samsung 12-24mm f/4-5.6 ED Verdict
With this lens, Samsung have made a nice addition to their lens lineup adding a much-needed wide angle range to their NX system of mirrorless cameras.
On the whole, this 12-24mm optic performs well, delivering excellent, or even outstanding sharpness from a compact, lightweight lens that doesn't cost the earth. It's a shame that the levels of chromatic aberration are so high, as that spoils an otherwise excellent performing lens. However, if you can live with that, don't let it put you off, as I'm sure many will be more than happy with the performance delivered by this lens.
