Still buying NX equipment - send help!
1

So.. today I won an auction for the 20mm f2.8. Not an essential purchase by any means but I thought I'd give this lens a go with my nx500 and see how it performs with the gimbal.

With this latest purchase I'll have 12 NX lenses, the 12mm samyang, and 4 bodies, including the nx1 and nx500. Am I completely mad?!

Mighty nx1. Even without 10bit imo has still the best details and overall image.

Not to mention stills, where nx1 destroys gh5. And almost any apsc and m43 camera.

Re: Still buying NX equipment - send help!

I've contemplated selling my NX1 and all lenses. I've visited local camera store several times recently, looking at Canon, Nikon, Fuji. The Nikon D500 is close but a lot more then what i paid for a barely used NX1 that had only around 300 shutter count. I've had a Fuji X-E1 with a couple lenses in past, and leaning toward them again, but even the X-T2 seems a little "clunky" in operation, and laggy in AF.

Very interesting...

Probably still not a fair comparison considering sensor sizes? Wonder how well the a6500 and XT-2 /XT-20 stacks up against the NX1.
