Re: Hey gang - don't even consider selling your NX gear...

The NX1 gear is great, I took advantage of the high used prices and sold all mine. I miss the equipment, but can't say I regret my decision. It is still great gear, but for the price I was able to get I was able to downsize my camera collection (enough that I don't feel obligated to shoot weddings if asked).

It will be up to each individual. Again, I couldn't say no to the high values that surely won't be around forever so it was simply a matter of economics, sell when there was still demand and prices were hight. Obviously if everyone sells the demand will plummet so it is a sensitive market.

I wouldn't have regretted keeping the gear either. I prefer it in most ways to my used Fuji XT1 I picked up, and only got 2 lenses for that so my system is very small now (15-45 and 56/1.2) but the fuji fits my very reduced camera needs (don't shoot much anymore) and I was able to pocket a lot of spare cash. The Fuji feels clunky and slow in comparison, but had the lenses I needed and more than enough pixels for what I do. I didn't want the big f/2-2.8 zooms when I am not shooting much so went with a couple small lenses.
