Well, another few weeks have passed and still no Samsung lens... come on Samsung! Let's get this thing rolling :-)
Thankfully though they have lent me a 50-150mm 'S' class lens for the period of image logging, meaning I have been able to use the camera a bit and try it all out. Here are a few photos taken with the Samsung NX1 over the past few weeks. As soon as I get the go ahead and wide angle lens, I will let you know my thoughts and really put some time in to using this camera, but as I have said to some of you that have visited... so far I must confess I am impressed. There are things I like, things I don't like but overall it seems to be getting me images that I am pleased with and can use.
Above is Emmy, one of our female otters on the edge of the bank.

Likewise with this one of Scrappy, the little owl.

A recent one of our kingfisher. Very restricted with the 150mm focal length, and this has been cropped a fair bit, but sometimes you have to make an image with what you have available. It's nice to place the animal in this habitat and not always go for the close up.

Not that there is anything wrong with a good ol' close portrait though :-) We only got a dusting of snow, hardly anything at all, but by changing shooting angles it was possible to make it look like we had a lot more than we actually did.
So, hopefully this will tie over till I am officially trying the NX1. I need the wide angle for some ideas I want to try out.
Thanks for looking
The 50-150s is looking very nice Matt, I have never rated the 18-200mm, the 50-200m is better. It is frustration about the lens not being here yet haha. Very nice pictures :)
ReplyDelete18-200mm is not worth the money in my opinion, especially if you are serious about photography... even as a hobby. But can't fault the 50-150mm in terms of final quality when the conditions are good. Yet to test it in poor conditions and action shots yet.
