Thank you, I think I will give it a shot but ordered before and got broken stuff (aperture blades wouldn't shut or buttons on lens sticky) so this makes me think that they don't test the gear properly.

Yes, I agree about the investment, if you score used lenses and bodies at great price it doesn't sting much but the offer is so low.

The 16-50s would be great but wouldn't that look obscene coupled with nx500? Also, it seems that the best value would be to get one with an nx1 body as by itself costs a lot. Just out of curiosity how much would a Sony counterpart (similar quality and range) cost?

I haven't used the mod yet but think I saw a post recently. Can you remove the hack/mode at a later stage?

I've had bad experiences with cex too. But..as long as you can cope with the inconvenience, they will always refund you and allow you to return if something's not right..

I think the nx500 wouldn't look out if place with the 16-50s.

You can undo the mod if you wish. I think there is even an option to do so in the menu, or else you can follow some simple instructions. I was very careful installing it and the whole process didn't take more than about half an hour.
