Looking to upgrade from my Samsung NX300

I were in a similar position and upgraded to the NX500. With that said my problem with the NX line isn't the bodies but the lenses and I wished I'd either got a Sony mirrorless FF (love FF) or maybe a micro four thirds for the lens selection...

It is very easy to do it.

You can sell the NX500 for 500€(in Greece, as it is more than 700€ new), and you can go for the A7Rii for 3800€ (in Greece, body only), or can get a Panasonic GX8(the only mFT I would consider worth buying) for 1250€(body only, Greece again) and give a thousand or so for a good fast mFT zoom (which they are some excellent choices).

If you have 5000 to buy the Sony and the good zoom (the cheap kit lens is terrible), then you can even give your 500 as a present, or keep it as a super compact.

But then again, I kept the NX500( and the 300) and I am waiting for the NX1 which is considerable better that the GX8, and I do not like the Sony A7 experience so far(especially for the money). Maybe in 2-3 years the Sonys will be amazing, and then I can move to that territory, for now, NX is fine for me.

I read this yesterday but had no time to reply. I have a question:

The mft fast zooms (12-35 or 12-40 2.8) are real fast lenses?

I 've done the math:

12mm f2.8 is near or less the same of 16mm f3.5/f.4 of the power zoom. At the tele end 40mm f2.8 is just 1.3 stops faster than 50mm f5.6 where the Samsung premium lens get 2 full stops of advantage.

We could say that a 12-40 f2.8 equals an nx lens like 16-55 f3.5-f.4. Will this still be considered a fast zoom?

I know that the "pro" zoom for mft is sharper from corner to corner but i cannot see this worth 5 time the price. With the price of the mft pro zoom i can go for:

- 16-50 pz

- 50-200

- 16 mm prime

- 30 mm prime

- 45 mm prime

Looks like a better investment of my money... am i wrong?
