A little while back I had got into the habit of lenses for this system, and at one point nearly had them all. Thankfully I saw sense and sold some that I wasn't using much (16mm,20mm,12-24mm, 50-200mm and samyang 12mm).

I'm still left with a fair few lenses, many of which don't seem to get used that much. For example the 16-50mm is more or less glued to the nx1 and I tend to use the nx500 with the 30mm when I need to go compact or else the pz 16-50mm when I'm shooting video.

I'd like to make use if my other lenses more but often space is an issue and changing lenses is a bit of a pain.

What are your experiences. By the way, I'm not a pro and mostly take photos of my kids,although I'd like to improve my photography skills and widen my subject type .

I have 8, 12, 16, 30, 45 and 85 for Samsung NX. Recently sold only 60mm macro, because I was not using it at all. I like primes and those are not too many for me

I also have 10+ lenses for my Canon DSLR, now I try to reduce some of them.
