Samsung Unveils Five New NX Lenses

Samsung over the weekend unveiled five lenses for its recently introduced NX10 camera. The lenses are small enough to fit on the NX10, often described as one of a growing number of compact EVIL cameras with Electronic Viewfinders and Interchangeable Lenses.

Available in the first half of this year, the lenses include the following: 18-55mm f3.5-5.6, 20mm f2.8 “pancake”, 60mm f2.7 macro, 20-50mm f3.5-5.6, 18-200mm OIS f3.5-6.3. (The lenses join the 30mm, 18-55mm, and 50-200mm lenses introduced at the CES.)

Altogether, the “eight Samsung NX lenses incorporate unique features and designs so that the images users produce are easy to create yet still of professional quality,” the company announced.

Samsung’s NX10 is described as a “hybrid” DSLR that bridges a regular-size digital SLR and a Micro Four Thirds camera. Because the camera doesn’t use a mirror, the size can be reduced. However, because the camera uses regular imaging sensors, you get better quality images but with less shake from a DSLR. The NX10 provides 14.6MP images.
