Samsung 20mm f/2.8 NX review by lol101
Another very nice and useful lens for the NX if you like a moderate wide angle. Construction is excellent, AF near silent and performances very high (although a notch down from the 30mm). iFn is also nice to use for changing parameters in a seamless way.
Pros:
- Good resolution qualities
- small and light
- iFn button
- cheap
Cons:
- Some distorsion and chromatic aberration

A decent pancake wideangle. Despite being worse than the 30mm, this thing has spent more time on my NX10 for a single reason - the FOV is more exciting on this one.
Pros:
- Wide enough to be exciting
- Sharp from f/4 onwards
Cons:
- Corners soft at f/2.8

Excellent lens
This is really excellent in terms of image quality, pairs well with the 30mm. Colours are fairly good and sharpness is excellent, I didn't find anything to complain about in a number of varying situations and apertures.

Best 35mm equiv compact on the market
Sharp lens which is a great addition to the Kit lens of any NX system, currently better than any Sony lens and in the higher quality range of the m3/4 lens options. Works good in lowlight thanks to it being in the lower Apeture range (much better than the kit lens).
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Easily Interchangeable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Lightweight
- Nice Bokeh

Samsung 20mm f/2.8 NX iFunction Pancake Review
The move towards smaller camera bodies has brought a resurgence of interest in similarly compact lens designs and low-profile lenses that hug the front of the camera are often described as pancake on account of their extreme flatness.

Samsung NX 20mm f/2.8 ( W20NB ) - Review / Lab Test
Pancake lenses cannot be perfect - the small size simply implies some compromises. However, the Samsung NX 20mm f/2.8 does a pretty good job actually. At f/2.8 you have to live with some corner softness and quite high vignetting.

Small, nice and accurate, but picture is not the best
Too much distortions, the picture is not the best. Kit lens make better work in this 20 mm focus. I prefer 30 mm F/2.0 lens.
