This lens is very nice, I have it and it does great on my NX10

But on my NX1000 its does add magenta in the corners too bad

problem seems to be combination of 20mp/24mp + lens construction.

With 8mm/3.5 I have wether problems with NX1000 (20mp) nor with NEX7 (24mp)

Ok, but what about 8mm f2.8 + nx (not nex!)?

I have used thethe 2.8 and found terrible purple fringing but I changed to the 3.5 and cannot recommend the lens highly enough.
