Samsung NX 60mm f/2.8 Macro ED OIS SSA i-Function Lens, Black Review

The Samsung NX 60mm f/2.8 Macro ED OIS SSA is a dedicated macro lens for Samsung's discontinued NX mirrorless system. With a 1:1 magnification ratio typical of true macro lenses, it's designed for close-up photography of small subjects like insects, flowers, and product details. The built-in optical image stabilization helps steady shots at close distances, while the SSA (Super Sonic Actuator) motor promises quieter, faster autofocus. The i-Function button on the lens barrel allows direct manual control over settings like aperture and shutter speed, a signature feature of Samsung NX glass.

This lens occupies a niche position. Samsung exited the camera business in 2015, so support and firmware updates have long ceased. If you're still invested in the NX system, this macro delivers solid specs at a reasonable used price and rounds out a kit for close-up work. For anyone else, it's a dead-end purchase tied to an abandoned platform.
