Samsung Interchangeable lens mirrorless camera NX10 and i-Function 20mm F2.8 single lens

After the small, light interchangeable lens mirrorless camera NX10 and NX5, the NX100 got an attention with the very interesting i-Function.

When using a DSLR camera, there are a lot of things to be done by a right hand, but a left hand is used to keep the camera from shaking.

Therefore, the right hand needs to do a lot of things including the operations for menu, shutter, and stable grip.

That’s why the i-Function lens allows the right hand to just hold the camera and push the shutter by making some functions through the lens, I think.

As the 18-55mm standard zoom lens user, the 20mm single lens with a new function made me want to use it.

However, I was worried that the i-Function lens released with the NX100 which is the next model of the NX10 can be used with the NX10. Samsung has released new firmware to address this.

Of course, their purpose is to sell the new lenses, but I’m actually happy that Samsung allows the user of the previous model to use the new lenses.

You can understand that easily if you compare this to other Japanese camera makers.

[NX10, 20mm F2.8] How is the convenience of i-Function lenses?

Following is a review of Samsung Digital Camera NX10 with i-Function lens.

Recently, mirrorless cameras are popular in the digital camera market, because the big size of DSLRs has been reduced by eliminating the mirror and the quality is also great with the APS-C sensor which is the same as DSLRs.

These mirrorless cameras are the best with a small pancake lens. That’s why I’m going to take a closer look at the Samsung 20mm F2.8 i-Function Pancake lens released with the NX10.

20mm sounds good!

Samsung Electronics has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.

From a few days I’m lucky owner of 20mm to NX cameras system. So far my favorite lens was a 30mm, but it seems that I have a new favorite.

The new lens is made of very solid, if you have a 30mm and you say this is it, then wait for the 20mm. Glass is slightly larger than 30mm, the materials of which it is made perfect in my opinion. Filters have 43mm diagonal, too bad that there is no lens hood. As usual, in the box is a stand and pouch and manual.

The lens has a metal mount, it only shows a plus of its quality. Ring for the function works much better, than the previous lenses. Feel the gentle resistance when turning.
The new lens has a “i-Fn” function . It’s very interesting, not seen anywhere!

I’ve tried to use it and checked it, but personally I prefer the control of the camera (I’ve NX10), NX100 has a slightly different button layout, so in this model may be a totally different feeling.
After mounting the 20mm to NX10, button “iFn” hiding a little under the cover of flash that may be a small hurdle in use, but just get used to it and no problem.
According to the manual focus lens captures from 17cm, but I think it is a 14-15cm.
