Now, if it collapsed into itself like the Olympus E-P1's kit lens, that would be worthwhile. If it afforded a faster aperture than a standard kit lens, say 3.5-4.5, or something more ambitious, than it would have greater attraction still. As it is, the lens offers token decreases in size and weight, and no OIS. Yet to be seen are its distortion characteristics, which I suspect will be greatly improved over the more "ambitious" kit offerings. Perhaps it will be enough to justify its existence.

For a APS-C camera look good for me and 30-75mm is useful no too much difference to 28mm. This lens is 12mm smaller and 6mm thinner than 18-55 ois kit and almost 30gr lighter.

People would be much better off just using the Samsung 30mm pancake and you know, move their feet when they need to zoom. Not only is the 30mm much smaller it also gives DOF control...something no f/3.5-5.6 standard zoom can give you. I really don’t understand zooms like this (or 35-70mm zooms back in the film days).

Here is full frame Pentax lens with wider zoom range, built for FF (yes, full frame - 36x24 mm) DSLR (so it should be much bigger and heavier than lens for mirrorless camera with 2,2 x smaller sensor): http://kmp.bdimitrov.de/lenses/zooms/short/FAJ28-80f3.5-5.6.html No comments :-/ Samsung should learn a lot, right now I can almost no gains of using their mirrorles system :-/ ROTFL, it is neither small nor light.

We want a fast f/2.8 zoom Samsung!! Or at least more fast prime pancakes. Take a hint from Pentax! If it was almost as small as a pancake then yes – but as it is it doesn’t make any sense.
