Hey boys and girls,
So I just switched systems, traded down from my Em1 to an NX300 in favor of more money for film.
I was curious what lenses NX users like most, and if anyone is shooting legacy. I have a lot of Nikon F AI gear I'd like to toy around with on digital.
Thanks!
Hi Hans,
I have the pancake trio of 16/20 and 30mm, 45mm F1.8, 60mm F2.8 Macro and 50-200mm zoom. All good lenses. I'd love to add the 12-24mm zoom and 85mm F1.4 but they are a bit out of my budget.
I can't say which are my favorites, the last 3 are recent purchases. The 45mm F1.8 is lovely and sharp from wide open so makes a good portrait lens. It also has very fast AF. The 30mm F2 is razor sharp and a good all round lens though AF can be sluggish at times. The 16mm F2.4 I find excellent for street shooting.
As for legacy glass. I only have 2 adapters so far - one M42 and one Konica. Oddly the M42 adapter did not work! So I'm limited to Konica Hexanon legacy glass at the moment but to be honest the Samsung glass is so good I'm happy with just that.
I agree with Hans' list. Those are all good choices. Be aware that "most likely" Samsung is either have hit the pause button on their mirrorless business or they've decided to quiet left the building but leaving the candles burning. I've not use legacy lens on the X system.
