to jump in for NX30 at this point in time?

Hi Samsung users,

I have been shooting with Nikon 1 for a couple of years with great satisfaction but recently I wanted a good portrait option and found the solution in NX30 and Canon FL 55mm f1.2. I'm aware of the Samsung situation which is strange to say the least, but I'm not planning on investing on the full NX lenses. (maybe, who knows) Instead, I just wanted a good APS-C sensor which works well with MF lenses. Hoping NX30, which was purchased at great discount from MSRP, will last me a few years of enjoyment and also hoping this board won't just disappear!

Crazy like a fox. Buy a 30mm while they're still relatively cheap and available.

(BUT, if it was me, I would have gone Sony at this point, despite the overpriced lenses and lack of APS-C E-mount lens development)

I'm trying to resist the temptation to expand the NX lens selection! But, I hear 30mm is amazing. Maybe at some point but I want to get the Samyang 12mm before anything else. After seeing the sharpness of Canon FL 55mm, I lost interest in the rather big 18-55mm zoom. If the 30mm can match the Canon I might get one eventually. I wish it were a bit more faster however. f1.4 would have been perfect.
