So I recently purchased a Galaxy NX as well as the 16mm f/2.4 & 30mm f/2 pancake lenses.
I reckon the 30mm should make for a good general-use lens and the 16mm has me covered for landscape shots but I feel that only having those 2 lenses would leave me a little limited, so I'm looking for maybe one more to round off my set.
Obviously, in an ideal world, the 16-50mm S f/2-2.8 and the 50-150mm S f/2.8 would probably be the best lens combo available for the NX range, covering all the bases so to speak.
But each of them would cost me more than everything I've already purchased put together, so not really for me.
The 85mm f/1.4 looks good on paper, as well as giving me something more in the telephoto range but I'm just not sure how much I'd use it, especially since it's that bit bigger and one of the things I like about the NX range is general is that it's pretty compact (I have an old Canon D-SLR which never really got used enough due to the size and weight).
It also doesn't really mesh with the sort of photos I've tended to take in the past, which are more landscapes with a bit of macro stuff etc.
I'd also seen a relatively good deal for the 45mm f/1.8 2D/3D lens, which I find myself quite curious about. The 3D option intrigues me, though I'm not sure how often I'd use it (though I do have a 3D Samsung TV which I've never had any 3D content for, so it'd get used a bit for the novelty factor).
The size seems more in-keeping with what I'd like and it should double up as a decent portrait lens, if I'm not mistaken.
So with all that in mind, I have a few questions:
- Is the 3D version of the 45mm worth getting or would I be better with the normal one?
- Can anyone confirm from experience that the 3D lens works ok with the Galaxy NX?
I can't seem to find anything definite, just a lot of references to the NX300 being the only body that can handle the 3D effect, though they all appear to pre-date the Galaxy NX's announcement.
- Are there any other lenses that would better compliment the 16mm & 30mm that I should be considering instead?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
I can tell you that the Galaxy Camera EK-GN120 supports 3d. At least Samsung claims it is supported.
Shopping for lenses is really a personal preference. What would compliment it depends on what you wish to do. My suggestion would be to play with what you have and try to see if you can overcome any short comings. Later on you'll get a better feel for what you'll need if anything else.
Of course the 3d novelty is really up to you. Check amazon reviews to read about some of the short comings that comes with shooting in 3d. If I had a 3D TV and the money to waste I'd grab the 3d version because I'd be curious about what it would be like to see my images in 3d. Though I don't think my nx500 does 3d.
Your NX500 does 3D. Here is a 3D video shot with the NX500:
