I understand your attitude, but if the 45 gives you 10 photos, or years of use that you will be proud of, then they are not dead money. Dead money is if you lent some money to someone, and then he dies. That is dead money. Of course everyone is free to do as he pleases, but we don't have to be over negative about it. My FD lenses are much older than you (probably, they definitely are older than me, and my Takumars are older than the FDs!) and are still going strong in the digital era. You have to put things, and see life, in perspective.

Where do you buy a new 45mm for 150$? I consider buying a new one for 250$.

Anyways, whatever works really.

The thing is that if anything will happen with your gear, you won't get a replacement. Who knows, how long will Samsung supply its service centers with replacement parts? And if something will happen in 1.5 years, sure, they might return you your money for, say, lens, but you won't be able to buy new one in shop. Only and maybe used one.

Or, even worse case: your camera will break. They'll give you a refund. No new cameras there and bunch of NX lenses which you will have to sell for caps.

I'm sure there will be a market for used camera bodies and lenses for along time to come.
