Hi!

do you know if the following lens is fully compatible to my Galaxy NX?

I'm asking because I don't see it in the list of compatible lenses on Samsung's web site:

Yes, it is fully compatible. If you haven't already updated the camera's firmware to the latest version, you may need to do so to take advantage of some features of the lens.

The reason the lens doesn't appear in the Galaxy NX compatibility list is that it did not exist when the camera was released. Unfortunately Samsung's web site team don't seem to have any procedure in place to update compatibilty lists of pre-existing equipment when new products are released. As I've said several times on this forum, it must cost the company heaps of money in lost sales.
