    Does someone already own this 3rd party R1-Flash unit for NX ?

    Like the title says, does someone already own this 3rd party Flash unit for NX ? It's about 16 dollars shipping included, and it's capable of bouncing off the ceiling... http://r.ebay.com/KlUdSz Would love some feedback from people who tested this flashgun...

    Problem with nx1000 mode dial

    Problem is back again :-( (top jog wheel) I put a little drop of contact-oil in again, but no luck, the jog-wheel refuses to work anymore. On the other hand, the PASM-dial works flawlessly again. Tomorrow I will try to dismantle the top deck of the body for closer inspection...

    Hows your NX 50-200mm going

    Hard to say, depends on the used focal-length ofcourse, (I mostly used +-130mm focal length...) At 130mm, for a full-body-shot (of the kid), that would be about --> +- 9 meters For a head-shoulders portrait at 130mm --> +- 3,5m The 18-200 is about +- 3 times more expensive than the...

    Hows your NX 50-200mm going

    To my opinion in the Samsung NX-range, the 50-200mm is the "most-bang-for-buck" lens. Up to +-130mm it almost produces pro-grade results, and once past 130mm still very good in comparison with other brand budget-zoom lenses. Below here some un-edited, full-res samples (jpgs) from my NX200 with...

    Problem with nx1000 mode dial

    Great thread, detailed pics... I must have missed it. On the other hand I am very cautious with blowing compressed air in it because I already have dust behind my NX200 back screen (only visible in the sun when off) Sofar my NX200 works well again (both the PASM & jog-wheel), but I guess I'll...

    Problem with nx1000 mode dial

    I have the same problem on my NX200, even with my top jog-dial, very annoying when you work in A-mode... It is a common problem, and seems to be fixed after putting a tiny little drop of "Kontakt40-oil " in it. Did it yesterday, so can't say it is a "definite solution"

    Samsung NX100 + 20mm prime + flash = $US300 - Good deal or not?

    Not so great deal... Today I got myself a used NX10 body + 4 batteries for 90 euros (@ Marktplaats.nl =Dutch)

    NX200 upgrade to firmware v.1.1

    Update went smooth, +- 2 minutes (with a fast "Sandisk Extreme HD Video" sd-card), no problems at all... AF seems more consistent after update (30mm), gotta test more to be shure...

    New NX lens annouced

    Indeed, many thanks Eric ! When reading about the Pentax 70mm I also discovered that there's no focus motor in the lens (in-body), which makes it easier to produce pancakes...

    New NX lens annouced

    Very pleased with the announcements, nice to know there's some movement in the NX-line... On the other hand somewhat dissapointed with the size/focal length of the 45mm, though the price is reasonable... What I am waiting for is a 70mm f2.4 pancake portrait-lens ala Pentax....THAT would be a...

    Is Samsung leaving mirrorless market?

    Same here, I've tried MFT along with the "good" lenses (14mm Pana, 25mm Summicron, 20mm Pana, 45mm Oly, 9-18mm Oly) but the DOF is just not shallow enough for me coming from Eos FF... Up t'ill now there's still no APS-C-combo out there like the NX200 + 30mm F2.0 that fits my jacket pocket (+...

    I've noticed yhe Xenon-sample-pic too, but the description & product n° is that of the NX-lens... They probably just put the wrong pic in there...
