So I have a new (to me) NX1 coming my way and my first NX lens in the 30mm f2. I say these are new, but I sold off all my NX gear long ago. I’ve owned several NX500’s, this will be my second NX1, plus NX20, NX10 (three times), plus 20mm, 30mm, 45mm, 60mm, 85mm, 16-50PZ, 18-55III, 50-200III, a few of them multiple times.

As I say I got rid of it all, but when a cheap(ish) NX1 landed on my door I kind of couldn’t resist. It’s a tempting proposition, good camera - low price. But then there is the glass, which is hard to find and not cheap. It’s also, well kinda iffy. The good stuff is wayyy expensive and then there is nowhere to go with it.

So I don’t know, maybe I keep it as a play thing? Just use it with the 30mm (and get the K adapter and use a Sigma 8-16mm that has been haunting my cupboard for too long)? Or do I get rid of it before I get attached? Maybe make a few bucks out of it?

Any thoughts? I’m not seeing lens prices going down in the immediate future. The affordable (and findable) ones aren’t that hot anyway.

It`s hardly a mistake at the right price , but only IF the particular lens (s) you need can also be had for a bargain . Lets face it , it`s a dead end system and not worth a big buck investment IMO.

It`s almost always about the money .
