The Most Amazing Pancake Lens I've Ever Used

[@cameraconspiracies]

I can only imagine where Samsung would be now if they kept making cameras!

[@MarkusPix]

They'd probably have done to Nikon, Canon etc what they did to the iphone market

[@demonsaint1296]

Samsung cameras were reall..... are really good.

[@Taramundifilms]

Still using my good old NX1!

[@frankfeng2701]

Your channel wouldn't have existed cuz Samsung would have made the perfect camera.

[@Temenes]

We might have had the perfect camera.

[@bazt1642]

Aww thanks for your recognition! I was just giving my honest opinion about a lens I love because it defies physics being so small and light, while also being so sharp wide open at F2.0. It honestly makes the NX500 almost as pocketable as the GR3, with better image quality and features. I'm so glad you liked it, and I thank you for fostering such a positive online community as you do!

[@motebike]

NX1 + NX500 still unbeatable today. I still use both as my main cameras...and yes you can also take pro photos with the NX500.

[@euAndrei]

I still have my 9 year old NX500 and recently got a gimbal for it so I can take it outdoor and show it the world!

Thanks Markus - I flippin' Love all of your videos!! I learn so much, and I love the locations and beautiful partner, and your photography skills. It's people like you that make KZbin so worthwhile. Thank you my friend. Looks like you have a great life! Cheers!

[@TheWoundedWarrior]

I love the small pancakes! I can't zoom but it makes me work hard. I love the weight, the aperture for low light and the fact it makes the camera so much smaller. Not to mention the sharpness

[@missfloflowers]

Sure do love my Samsung 💙🤷‍♀️💜 Cara looks happy and beautiful, as usual. Glad to see you both loving ans fully enjoying your lives. Out in the beautiful mountains.

[@lattesweden]

Thanks Markus for a another very good video! I like your casual playfulness and that you still deliver really good image results. I have shot with a mixed Panasonic/Olympus m4/3 system for many years and I like that system, though I use Sony FF mostly these days. My favorite m4/3 lens for portraits is the Panasonic Leica 25/1.4. It is small, light and still sharp even wide open. It fits really well on my old Olympus E-PL5 body. It is a little larger than your Lumix GM1/5 but has a tiltable screen. The 75/1.8 sets me a little to far away for my taste, I loose the connection to my model, but sharp it is plenty. I sold my 75 when I went FF but kept the 25 since it is so light. You said in another video that you wanted both EVF and hotshoe, check out the Olympus E-M10mkII or III. Rather cheap bodys, but has both those features and also the 5-axis IBIS. A thing I think could make your videos even better is to engage Cara more in some way and not let her stand idling in the background when you show things. And also tell more about why you choose to compose the shots the way you did and maybe also show the basic camera settings and which filters you used in some text overlay when you show the images.

[@rogernuffer]

Great video. I'm always playing around with cameras and because of your videos my interest has been re-peaked in Samsung. Thinking of get both sensor sizes. Found a pink Mini and it reminds me of when Digital Rev would paint their cameras pink. That pancake lens for the NX system also looks to be a good in the pocket carry EDC.

[@arttiz01]

Oh wow, never heard of that camera, the Samsung NX, impressive...

[@MrEdxwx]

i did not know you make camera \ lens videos , this is amazing , i love your healthy lifestyle videos.

[@MarkusPix]

Yes this is where my real joy is, not telling people to do enemas :-)

[@MrEdxwx]

Keep up the amazing work ! You have a new subscriber.

[@Wavetechlifeguardian]

You always introduce me to new cameras and lenses that I haven't considered before. Great shots of your wife!

[@wilsoneusebio777]

Samsung IMPACTED the world with their GREAT cameras.

[@MrTerryRay1]

Thanks for showing some love to the Lumix G7! I'm new to photography and videography and the G7 is my first camera, and the camera I'm learning with. It's great to see a real pro still use it, and get great photos with it. :) Thanks for your video as you show us your view of photography.

[@MarkusPix]

Its not the gear, it's what you do with it :-)

[@CRHarneyIII]

Extremely late reply but where the heck do you find a white NX500…cameras and shooting are fun for our family! Love your work and thanks for your positivity!!!

[@GermanViking]

Super cool white camera and lens

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Awesome snaps Markus!! That Samsung looks like a good camera!

[@carpediem5008]

and very good small Samsung NX lenses too. Great pancakes 10mm, 16mm, 20mm, 30mm.

[@provisionsigns1210]

Hey Markus.. Thanks for another great video! I love how you highlight the smaller cameras that give you that quality look. Have you looked into adding the Ricoh Gr3 into one of your videos? It would be awesome to hear your thoughts on that camera. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

[@cosmogang]

The Fuji 27mm f2.8 is really incredible as well. If you like pancake lenses, you will love that one. It's razor sharp.

[@MarkusPix]

Yes but 2.8 would mean no background blur anymore

[@francisgeorge7639]

I love the 70s look. I'm colourblind (red/green, 85% less colour, so a lot of overlapping colours and can't determine what's happening or how to correctly adjust) and was wondering what do you use to get that WB? Is it a fluorescent WB setting, shade or manual adjustment? Love your vids, by the way. I remember the 70s as a glowy time also, although I was only 8 by the end of all that excitement. The 80s seemed overcast by comparison. Maybe that was just the Uk in the 80s .

[@StarlightDasher]

As far as Samsung Cameras go, I still use my NX300 with the same lens from time to time. Great little cameras!

[@memphismusicvideos]

Markus, Samsung was way ahead of anything available at it's price point at the time it was released. I had the NX-500 with the 10mm fish eye, 30mm pancake and the 45mm. They were all great lenses and a great camera! I just couldn't see keeping a dead system, and traded for an a6400.

[@Martin-nu6ym]

Wish Samsung would have stayed in the camera market. :( The two lenses that always wow me are not pancakes: The Fuji 90mm f/2 and the Voigtlander 58 f/1.4.

[@erniefay5127]

Excellent video! Thanks for the info.

[@LyndonPatrickSmith]

Love the 75 1.8. Great vids Markus!

[@karekare72]

Beautiful.

[@reginaldmackey6616]

Thanks for sharing. Just wondering why the Samsung cameras didn’t quite take off like the Sony mirrorless? I owned a few Galaxy phones so I knew the picture quality was there,

Hola Markus, gran objetivo, es el 30 mm, pequeño calidad del cristal y ligero, lo pruebo con mi Nx1 y es fantástico, aqui te dejo mi enlace.

[@cactysflwr]

Hi I have a question and I hope you can help. I have the Samsung NX Mini and I’m very interested in getting the lens to use, however the adapter mount is not longer in production. Is there a compatible adapter mount you recommend in place of that one?

[@PatrickJaszewski]

That Samsung 30mm f2 looks fantastic. This has been a fun series, Markus.

[@rascalhusky8129]

Nice camera , nice lens , very nice girl friend . Good video .

[@djiatro]

Great review! Keep up the good work. I suggest you to consider making a 360 degree camera some day. Thanks

Hi, Markus. Just to say that Venus Optics announces a new manual LAOWA 10mm f/4 cookie APS-C mirrorless pancake lens (12 elements in 8 groups, 5 blades) about 130g. The world’s widest rectilinear pancake for APS-C with super-low distortion, and high optical performance. Close minimum focusing distance (minimum distance 10cm / 4inches). For Canon RF, Nikon Z, Sony E, L, and Fuji X mount - Price: $299 / €292 / £249.

[@larrylarry1368]

I happened to have the Samsung 30mm f2.0 lens. It is well made and sharp. The only complaint that I have is that it doesn’t have o.i.s

[@CineDecodificado]

Hi Markus. I'll like to update from my 10 year old Canon T2i a camera with a good sensor with which I can take astrophotography. Do you recommend me to getting a Sony A2ii, or a newer camera with a cropped sensor? My budget is around $1,000 or a bit more for the body.

[@MarkusPix]

The A7Sii can practically see in the dark. It's full frame so things are sharp and the light sensitivity is astronomical

[@reckerproduction9468]

Your model is beautiful

[@SalwanJBinni]

Lovely stuff so thanks for sharing... Still there is only one thing that I don't understand which is how the Samsung, APS-C sensor is "bigger" than its Sony counterpart?! As far as I know the standard APS-C size is 1.5 times smaller than the full frame one. That holds true for all camera brands including Samsung, and the exception is Canon where its APS-C sensor is 1.6 times smaller than the full frame size. And of course the sensor size is something different from the pixels count.

[@MarkusPix]

There is no law, each company has different specs of what they call APSC. Canon APSC for example is a smaller sensor 22.3 x 14.9 than Sony 15.6 x 23.5. Although the NX500 and 6000 series have similar physical dimensions, Samsung’s 15.28µm2 sensor has a 15% larger pixel area than Sony’s 13.18µm2

[@ekkanofiqandriyana7325]

love the review and dope shots

[@frankfeng2701]

I hope Samsung can jump back into the camera market and out-spec everybody else again. Unlike those Japanese cartels who are constantly crippling/colluding on specs, Samsung is also the only one who has the computation technology to make cameras that can compete with the smartphone cameras.

[@sauravbasu8805]

What is your view on Samsung nx5 ?

[@stevenm3141]

Can you recommend a good lense for a Sony video cam ? I've noticed inside shows look small.

HEY Marcus traying find out a Great lens to take amazing background pics and film ..is there any you recommend love to hear from you.o and prise range as well. Thank you bud

[@snax_4820]

I agree. But I have a Sony A6400 and there is no decent 24mm Pancake lens out there. I´m so sad.

[@MarkusPix]

Hi Lee The Samsung 16mm lens is better for Vlogging while holding on the end of your arm. If using a tripod, then any lens will work. The NX500 does not have an audio input. If you like Samsung, the NX mini is a great small blogging camera, but again, no audio input but they do all have built in mics if that's ok. I suggest going to BC Camera in Vegas and telling them what you are looking to do and your price range and they will show you all the options. I'm going there in a few days myself to get the new Sony R100 VII which has an audio input but its not cheap. Good luck
