Samsung never was my one and only system. The lack of some lenses was the reason why. Especially the lack of a long tele zoom was one of the many reasons not to buy a NX1. The 50-150 was also too late, since some months before it was announced, I got myself a new 4/70-200 for my D700 as lighter alternative to the 2.8 or my Tokina 4/100-300. That the 50-150 did cost 500€ more than the Nikon was another reason to stay with the Nikon. Bad timing for Samsung in my case. 6 months earlier, I would have paid the 1500€ for the 50-150, after I got the Nikon: no chance.

Availability of new lenses was also poor. At the time the 12-24 was released, none were available in Germany. Since this was a lens I also really had waited for, I got one as spare part without warranty and hood from our eastern neighbour. They were the only available ones at the time in the whole of Europe.
