Thank you for the kind words.
The 10mm fisheye is a remarkable lens considering its size and price. It's always part of my travel kit, usually with the 30mm as well as the 45mm on an MX Mini with the adapter. A very small and light kit delivering superb results.
Having two cameras with two different sensor formats provides an extended range for the lenses (the crop factor of the NX Mini, 2.7 for still pictures, is the same as the NX500 when used for video in 4K) :
- the 10mm is a full frame fisheye (15mm equivalent) on the NX500 and a moderate wide (27mm equivalent) with an easily correctable bit of distortion on the NX Mini;
- the 30mm is a perfect normal lens (45mm equivalent) on the NX500 and a portrait lens (81mm equivalent) on the NX Mini;
- the 45mm (67.5mm equivalent) is a longish normal lens very useful for picking lanscape and architecture details on the NX500 and a telephoto (121.5mm equivalent) on the NX Mini.
Cheers!
