Hi, I've been using my NX1 for almost 1 year now and I absolutely love it. I have used it for some commissioned projects, NX1 + 16-50S.

The only issue I have with this setup is that I barely carry it with me for my daily street pictures. The 16-50S is way too big and heavy.

I have looking to get a new body (Fujifulm X70) or getting a pancake lens such as the 16mm 2.4 (the desired 28mm equivalent). The 16mm 2.4 will only be used as street photography lens.

Have any of you used the 16mm on the NX1? Do you recommend me to get a X70 for an 'all-day' camera? My NX1 lifespan would perhaps be longer if I get a second body.

I use the 16mm on my NX1; it's a very good lens. But it's not a 28mm equivalent; it's 24mm. Maybe that's not a big enough difference for you but it is quite a bit wider. The 20mm pancake lens comes closest to the 28mm equivalent (30mm).
