There is only one issue I see. If you buy the nx1 and 50-150 (and/or 85) you'll probably take much less pictures with your Nikon gear 😂

I agree 100%, and for other systems too. The NX1 (which I own) has created a 'regret syndrome' in me.  Every time I think 'I must sell the NX1 cause it's a dead system' and get ready to sell in on eBay, a higher power advises me to cancel pressing the 'list it' button and I then gently place the NX1 on my lap and I stroke it  by saying "Sorry, I didn't know what I was doing".

Am only using 3 lenses with it so far: Samsung 85/1.4, a Tomioka made 55/1.4 (labeled Universon) and Samyang 12/f2.  I may get a proper zoom lens in future but for now the 85mm is more than adequate as a short tele and portrait lens. It is simply an outstanding lens to own. The bokeh, even at f5.6 (close to the subject) and even beyond F stops, is awe inspiring.

I may have to wait until 2020 before something else comes along that will beat the ahead-of-time NX1 as a whole package 

Photoshop only used to crop the image.
