Well, I do think that it is quite... "difficult" to buy NX Lenses now. Actually it is still relevant but to me it need good offers, like "cheap" second hand prices. I would not hesitate to pick up a <90€ NX30mm as it truely is a beast in its range !

By now, I just bought the very basic yes useful and efficient kit lenses : NX16-50mm and NX50-200mm, to cover the whole classic range, with the benefits of particularly good kit lenses, compared to other brands. Not a shame to only use them, for instance, you'll manage most of your shots.

Regarding Primes, as I said, it might sounds "risky" to buy NX. Especially when there are some very nices M42 alternatives, after browsing for the good references. Mine are :

- Helios 44-2, so much character, you may already know it

- Pentacon 135mm f2,8 : not the 15 blades version, still looking for a good price here in France

- Tair-3S : a 300mm beast mounted on a "riffle", known to be really sharp !

Now I just need to find a proper 0.5:1 or 1:1 cheap macro lens... But I'll just play with my toys for now !
