NX 10mm price?

Hi all,

I am after the NX 10mm here in the UK but unfortunately cannot find a reputable seller anywhere. Only from other countries on eBay. I am considering biting the bullet and going for one but the prices seem to start at £300. Can anyone confirm what the RRP was as I want to check that I am not paying too much over it. As I know NX lenses are like gold dust now

Thanks,

It was something around 400euros a few years ago, maybe 450. You can do better than 300 quids, as it is very expensive for a dead system.

I love mine, being one of the best kept secrets of the NX system, while others (e.g Fuji) do not even have the option. Most used lens after the 16-50S and the 45mm.

I bought a used copy in December for around £170,which was cheap compared to others on sale at the time. It seems they are harder and harder to find at a good price nowadays.

Nothing to do with price, but it is a very good comparison between two of the best fish eye lenses on the mirrorless world.

Just a side note linked to that review, but I don't think the 10mm can actually focus to infinity.

What do you mean?! I would guess it is more difficult, but how it is possible NOT to focus to infinity?

My selling points were minimum focus distance (huge difference - and it can be a great "selfie" lens), size (less than half the Samyang size) and full auto for every day use is always a factor for me.

I read somewhere that it can't focus to infinity - close, but not quite. However I can't find where I read it!

I agree it's a fantastic lens, especially paired with the 28mp sensor as even at 100% it's super sharp.

You probably read that it is more "difficult" because there is no focusing scale (unlike the manual Samyang lenses), or something similar. If it couldn't, then something was broken!

Great little lens, also great for NX500 and 4K video!

When I sold my 10mm before, the buyer complained that it wouldn't focus to infinity, and I'm sure I found a review that backed that up. Anyway, I've since picked up another copy and I haven't noticed the issue myself, just reporting what I've read (or think I've read)

I think it might have been here I read it

https://versus.com/en/samsung-nx-10mm-f3-5-fisheye-vs-sony-e-20mm-f2-8

In hindsight it doesn't appear too reliable, and I can't find it written anywhere else.

Hi,

I sold mine for about 255E/220£ last autumn and think it's fair.

I'm now using Samyang 8 2.8 Fisheye which I got cheaper.

Good luck!

I would join the fan's club of this little lens. It's simply beautiful, motivating you to be creative. Ever since I bought it I did not take it from the camera.

Very nice photos! The 10mm is good like that, can be a creative weapon and bring something that no other lens can. The close focusing distance can create amazing space distorted or manipulated compositions.

Thanks for posting.

Re: NX 10mm price?

I payd last year € 150 for a new 10mm in Switzerland, regular price was 499€.

Some weeks later all (white and black) were sold.

Now a german dealer (amazon) wants USED 499.95€ ... toc-toc-toc.

An Austrian dealer wants (new) 650€ ... toc-toc-toc-tooooc.

Thanks. I was amazed when I bought my first Samsung NX1000 with kit lens 20-50mm how cheap was and how good it is. After that I bougt few other lenses and NX300. Now, when I'm going to walk I carry just 10mm. It is really amazing lens tottaly different. It stimulates creativity and encourage you to continue with the hobby.

Best regards from Zagreb, Croatia

Re: NX 10mm price?

My manual lenses all have CANON mount, because with cheap adapters ($10-$20) I can use them for Sony, mFT and Samsung (and for Canon of course) ... from 8mm up to 500mm

So my (excellent!) Samyangs are usable with Sony/mFT/Samsung/Canon.
