Is it worth buying a used NX1 w/ S lens?
3

Due to Samsung discontinuing (or what I'd like to believe, is just temporarily "pausing") their NX line, I found a used NX1 paired with the 16-50mm S lens for $1,500 rated at a condition 9 of 10. I have a NX300 with the 18-55mm, 30mm, 45mm, and 50-200mm lenses. I considered abandoning ship to Sony, but I really LOVE my NX gear for my needs (mainly hobbyist usage).

How many of you are holding on to the NX line? Maybe Samsung may make a comeback, especially after such high praise of the technological achievements of the NX1? Or what if they decide to bring back Pentax (and leave it fully compatible with the NX gear) as a subsidiary? I think enthusiasts could appreciate that (Samsung, you listening?) I dunno, wishful thinking a suppose. But I'll remain hopeful and I think I'll keep my NX gear. So should I get the NX1 at that used price with that awesome piece of kit glass a la "s" lens?
