I have been looking for a pristine NX500 for a long time but used prices seem to be a bit on the high side. Are they in short supply or Is there another reason for it? There aren't that many 500's being sold on ebay UK.

It's a shame really as the review videos on YouTube seem to unanimously consider this to be an excellent camera, maybe that's why prices are high.

Thank you.

I think many people have already alluded to the principle reasons. In summary I think;

1 - Not too many may have sold in the first place, so rare on the ground.

2 - Some have died and people can't get them repaired.

3 - Some, like me, are hoarding them. I managed to get 3 when I found out how good they were and before the prices went up. Mine were all less than £300 each.

I think the same can be said of their excellent lenses. I've got multiple copies of; 16mm, 20mm, 30mm and 16-50mm PZ. I'm still in the market for others. I had an excellent copy of 50-150mm S, sold it and now regret it - such is life.

Regards, Wahid.

Hi, if you take good care of your stuff, will it last? I mean, do they start malfunctioning with age, if they are stored?

Also, are newer lenses pron to fungus, or only vintage ones? How does a fungus gets into a lens? Can it be with a stored lens?

Thanks
