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.

I don't really enjoy manual focus on the NX1 to be honest. Focus peaking is okay but magnified view on center point is quite limiting.

I think you'd be best selling it on and getting into a system which has all the lenses you require. You'll only end up with another system to fill the gaps anyway?

I have NX1 and NX500 but I'm okay with the lenses I've got and I like using multiple systems anyway. Sometimes I think maybe I should sell all my Samsung gear but I've learned not to be hasty in letting good gear go. I miss my EX2F and regret selling it.

If you sell now you might well make a few bucks and have no or little regrets. If you buy more Samsung lenses then it'll just add to your torment and you may end up selling when the prices finally start dropping (and they will eventually).

You may well be right. Also the NX mount won't work with Leica M mount lenses either. I use an X-T2 for MF lenses which of all the systems I've used had IMO the best MF assist features, they are miles ahead of the NX. I already have that system and have the primes I want and can add some zooms to complete the system if I feel I need it.
