My friend, I have the same focus problem as you and more... When I put my lens in, I don't have image information (everything goes black), but my lens update is still in at 1.01. I can't find the 1.03 update to download anywhere. Can anybody help me ?

Here is the link, you can still access the files via https://matteverglade.com/lenses/nx-firmware/ but you have to use the wayback machine as the links no longer work.

So the problem is the update?

Hi Barple,

I think I paid around $300 to get my lens fixed. Mine was de-centered and the left side of images was out of focus. I figured that I would get the lens back as new which was still the best deal. But when I got it back I wasn't happy with it and had to send it back once again. Finally, it is as good as new (they claimed to have replaced the entire inside of the lens) and I did not have to pay for the follow up repair.

I imagine that the problems with your lens are easier to fix so it could be considerably cheaper. If you happen to travel to Seoul then by all means you should take the lens with you to get it checked. I hope it works out fine!

Is there still someone who can fix the lens in Seoul?

I would contact any regular Samsung service center in Seoul.
