Samsung "S" Lenses

Given the unfortunate demise if the NX1 series body, will Samsung continue to support and update their 2 "S" lenses with firmware updates?

I have the NX1 and both the 16-50 and the 50-150 lenses and I think they are both at version 1.03.  I have stopped plugging my camera in to check for updates, so I was wondering regarding the lenses.  I know they need to correct for some vignetting that is somehow being introduced, especially at/near the highest zoom levels with the 16-50

Thanks

Nope. No more updates. The latest links can be found here:

Lens correction for vignetting,etc, is all built into the firmware and EXIF information in the files, and also your RAW editor, like Lightroom. It knows how to correct everything. No further firmware updates are needed for that.

If you want to sell your 50-150, let me know.
