Remember Sigma is not only lenses you can get. There are cheap Pentax K-mount lenses with the adapter you can use. I have 9 Pentax lenses right now. Some are first generation K, and M-series, others M42 mount. All work fine as long as you are okay with fully manual lenses. Focus peaking works well with NX1.

True, but if I want to use MF lenses I have other cameras for that. I was only considering the 8-16mm because being an UWA it doesn’t really matter that it is MF only. While I can (and would) adapt other MF lenses if I kept it, it isn’t really adding any value to the gear that I have.

You may already know this but just in case...the Sigma 8-16 doesn't have an aperture ring so you would need an adapter that can control the aperture. I have the 8-16 in Nikon mount and plan to use it with my NX1 via an aperture control adapter.

The original Samsung NX P-K adapter has an aperture control does it not? It certainly seems to, perhaps I'm wrong?
