I am about to join the NX world with a NX-500. My needs are not that sophisticated. Besides the kit lens, what lenses/adaptions are recommended (hopefully not too costly) for:

Which kit lens do you use? Samsung 16-50mm f3.5-5.6 PZ?

Macro - toy photography

Samsung 60mm f2.8
Alternative: Minolta MD 50mm f3.5 Macro - but not AF/OIS and you'll need to handle with adaptors.

Landscape - travel photography

Samsung 12-24mm f4-5.6 and Samsung 45mm f1.8 (good for landscapes and there is additional use as portrait lens).

Portrait - people photography

Samsung 45mm f1.8.
Samsung 85mm f1.4 is probably too expensive.

That should be a good start for less than 1000€.
