Mental how much these lenses are still going for. On eBay nothing less than £1100. Am not actively looking to buy one - only if a bargain came up. I have owned it and sold due to lack of use, but it was an incredible lens - could be better at 150mm tho.

Same with the 16-50mm s lens. Must be due to low availability, I can't see the prices coming down anytime soon.

Prices will go down when there will be much better cameras than NX1 and NX500. Then it will be tricky to balance performance per price per longevity of the system. In a year that the 50-150 will be -relatively- cheap, maybe won't worth the 500euros one will need to acquire it. I would prefer one soonish for 800-900euros, than later for cheaper!

I do wait for an opportunity 50-150 as they must be really excellent lenses. I do too not using tele zooms much but for the right price I would certainly consider buying one.

They seem to be much less than the 16-50 S lenses too.

I noticed the weird dearth of Samsung stuff for sale too when I was getting ready to sell my Samsung gear last week. I guess it's because most of the stores have sold out their inventory now. There aren't many third party sellers on Amazon with any inventory now. Last year there was this sense that stores were trying to sell their stock without flooding the market or depressing prices. Now there doesn't seem to be much left and sellers don't seem to be in a rush.

Meanwhile, for buyers, the word is out that there are NX hacks and that Samsung has a good system, even if it is discontinued.
