I'm starting to be a bit fed up with Samsung gear quality...

Re: I'm starting to be a bit fed up with Samsung gear quality...

I have 2 NX500s, 2 NX1s, and every lens Samsung released (in some cases 2 of each). Number of problems: 0. Problems happen with all brands and you'll find horror stores with every single one if you go looking. Sometimes you are just unlucky.

As to that 12-24 story: this is one lens that had numerous issues early because it was initially released with a plastic mount. They later replaced it with metal and the number of issues dropped significantly. If I were looking for one of those used I'd check it out carefully.
