NX1 + NX85mm
10

It's not often that I go out and shoot with this combination, but I love the sharpness of the lens and the quality of the out of focus areas. It was a misty and gloomy day and the lens seems to have captured the scene and the atmosphere!

Re: NX1 + NX85mm

scarf is in focus, but not the eye -- portrait mode?

Re: NX1 + NX85mm

You're right, I've just noticed that. I had it set to face recognition but something must have gone amiss.

turn mode dial to S, and select Portrait -- let's see how it compares to Samyang 85mm

Ah, you mean S as in portrait being one of the scene modes? I've never really tried those.

What's not possible?

I just bought ... NX-M 17 1.8 from ebay

I recently sold my NX1(I was holding it just if a normally priced 50-150 appear). I'm thinking to sell also the NX 85, because now I'm mostly using Sigma 135 1.8 and 85L on my Canon system for portraits.

So there are still some options to buy and sell NX stuff.

Just see one 85mm for sale here, but mainly together with a lot of other stuff, no price. See people WANT $600++ for it, but what do they get? Maybe he would be offended by a bid of $350, but will not start over $400.

New ones are still available from South Korea for around US$600 https://search.shopping.naver.com/search/all?query=nx+85mm&cat_id=&frm=NVSHATC

Beautiful pics Marky. I always love the way the nx1 renders colors. Sorry that your thread was ruined by flip and his tinfoil hat.

If I look at sold NX 85mm lenses on eBay I can see that they are selling between £420-500.

On cex, an online store for used items, they are listed for £320 but there are none in stock. I've never actually known them to have any in stock. This is no surprise actually as I can't imagine there would be anyone crazy enough to sell them one for £150, which is what they are asking!

I'm still on the look out for a 50-150mm but I'm not prepared to pay more than £600.

Hmm... The mentioned seller will sell a whole package if possible. But he bought the 85mm for $550. I offered $400 +. Also got the Nx 16-50 mm f2.0-2.8. Would be more useful, if he will sell separately.

What i had in mind is 600 euro.

Dont know for sure if that is a reasonable price.

But it is in a very good condition.

That is reasonable. Unfortunately I'm in the UK so I have no idea about shipping costs and insurance!

Hello Markyboy, I'm curious if you are still going to stick with Samsung since you have most of the gear or switch system since pricings are falling for older Sony full frame models.

I got into this system because of the affordability but GAS soon dictates I should open up my wallet more and aim for better (full frame, dedicated microphone port etc).

I have invested about £670 until now for a like new nx500 with kit pz lens + 30mm + 85mm. I am now targeting an nx1 with one or both of the S lenses and when I see the total of costs I shy away.

And then what's left is thinking what my money could buy into a Sony full frame system (grey or used market) Since I scored great prices for nx500 and the 30 and 85mm I can only be sure if get more chances on snapping up bargain Sony lenses.

Currently struggling to find a 45mm for less than £150, I think £200  is inflated considering the Lens is Used.

Where are the NX users heading to in terms of gear for 2021?
