Just waiting for the 85mm to arrive, got 45, 60 is rather cheap. NX500, 30, 20, 210 (bargain with 30). Will get another NX500, so much for the money. Maybe NX1 and the best long zoom.

You won't regret them. I don't do a lot of portraiture so the 85mm always seemed like a luxury item for me. I do have a fairly good Samyang 85 f1.4 for Pentax K which adapts very well to NX, manual only of course.

Love all the small, pancake primes.

Been thinking about A7III when IV comes, but high lens cost and RX1 can cover a lot. Also got some MFT as backup. Guess there is no after Samsung yet.

Think NX500 is the "decider". Did not know how good it was when buying. 5 years ago....

Yes and no. I knew that the NX500 was 'crippled' in the video department compared to the NX1. As I'm not a video shooter that wasn't an issue. So I knew I was getting an excellent still camera. However it surpassed my expectations in other ways like handling, fun and with any of the pancake primes, it's a fantastic walk-about set-up.

It's still my most go to camera for day-to-day shooting.
