Difficult to pick the best because all NX prime lenses are extremely good. This doesn’t happen often. My other system (Pentax) has several “meh” primes, but there is no “average” prime lens in Samsung world.

If I have to choose, I’ll pick the 60mm f/2.8 Macro, primarily because of its multipurpose use. Macro lenses are rarely without a barrel-extension-type focus mechanism and this one is. Internal fast focus is extremely useful for everything.

Among zoom, I’ll pick the 12-24mm lens. Its rare, but extremely useful. NX500+12-24mm together weigh less than ANY wide-angle zoom lens for ANY DSLR 😊
