I suppose that depends really. It sounds as if you don't own any other NX lenses, so to get the best from the camera, you'll need to spend even more money.

The kit lens usually bundled with the nx500 is the 16-50 powerzoom lens and it's arguably the best out of all the others - it's compact, relatively sharp and had good stabilisation and autofocus.

If you wanted the nx500 as a compact camera I'd go for the 30mm, the 45mm and maybe the 10mm. They are all great lenses but I'm not sure whether prices have come down significantly over the years. If anything they are holding value it seems.

All in all I'm pleased with my nx500 and the lenses but if I were starting again I'd probably buy into another system.
