Yeah not planning for NX1, no need for such expensive camera, unless I find a broken one for peanuts then fix it. Already got NX10 for manual lenses too, NX500 for the quality.

The price is from Rafina, yes, I know it's a good price but I am not sure it is final because they will also add their service fee and shipping back plus 24% VAT.

Will give it some more consideration as I was thinking of getting the 45 and the 50-200 to finalize my samsung collection so I don't want to be spending money on a cam that I won't be using much with samsung lenses, I got 16/20/30 and the small zooms which all look kinda funny on it.

It's just the pain of pulling out the lcd and it being black like the abyss... Perhaps I should pull it out from the hinge.

Haha! Yeah, and you save some weight also!

I have been there a couple of years ago and the guys were very helpful and no questions asked. I exchanged a PZ lens I had bought from Ebay, because I though it was slightly de-centered, and they did the exchange right away (I had to wait for 2 working days to bring back the PZ).

I am not familiar with the NX10, but the NX30 was the best Samsung camera with a viewfinder, before the NX1.

Ask for a final price, and think about it. Let as know as well. Do you have the phone number there? I want to call for a friend's NX300 that has one of this faulty dials.

Funny story. I was shooting a wedding with my 2 NX1's, and I had the 30mm on one, at one point the photographer is coming down to me furious and asks "where the heck is the f$%^$%g lens"!

That's what I mean with the pancakes on the NX30, they barely exceed the grip. Though the Minolta MD 45 2.0 pancake was a match in heaven with the NX10 lookswise.

Actually the service told me the final quote will be given once I send the camera in as there are a couple different lcd versions. That's why I am affraid of extra costs. Phone no. is 22940 23783. Mr. Kikis.

I just checked the 45mm prices on ebay. Seems like it's the time of the year to get an lcd fixed instead of buying a lens.
