Samsung NX acquisition syndrome
3

Finally my Samsung NX collection is complete! Yesterday I bought a used NX1000 with the 20-50mm lens and 50-200mm lens for the bargain price of £90.

This now means that as well as the 2 NX1s, NX500, Galaxy NX, NX3000 and now 2 NX1000s I have every single NX lens released!

So I'm well and truly embedded within the NX system - hopefully this will keep me going for a long time to come!

Are there any other NX users as crazy as me??!!

Yes. But I am starting to sell some of it. I recently sold an NX500 kit and am thinking of selling one of my Galaxy NX kits. That would still leave me with 2 NX1s, NX500, NX30, Galaxy NX, IR converted NX20 and nearly 2 copies of every lens they made for NX. Should probably sell more. Maybe the NX30 should go.

Great price, well done!

Me too.

I don't have all the lenses. Sold my 50-150 S and regret it. Never had the 10mm which I'd love to try.

Not quite that crazy … maybe!!

My NX5 was acquired as a digital platform for my pre-existing Russian r/f lens selection. This body has now been superceded by an NX11, but what has also "happened" is a small collection of Exakta-mount lenses has built up, with an Exa-NX adaptor … just 'cos I could!

I do however have (and use) seven different Pentax DSLR's, with a couple of bagsful of lenses, so I know the feeling

Time past, I did have a collection of over 600 Kodak cameras … used many of them, but most of those were given away when I downsized … so maybe I was that crazy, but I'm recovering

Oh wow, you're ahead of me! I don't have any intention to sell anything at the moment, but things can change! I think I'd rather sell the whole lot in one go if I was going to sell, but that would require finding a buyer equally as crazy as me!

I had the 10mm, then sold it, then bought another copy. It probably doesn't get as much use as it should, but it's fun little lens.

Hoping to get some use out of the 50-200mm. Also owned this before but sold it when I got the 18-200mm - will be interesting to see how it actually compares to that lens. I do have the 50-150mm and whilst it's great, it is pretty big, so may pair the 50-200mm with the NX500 and see how that goes.

Glad to hear you're recovering :). Wow, 600 cameras, that's impressive.

My next purchase may be the NX mini, however I'd only really want it if I could get the 17mm lens, and that seems extremely rare.

Agreed. The 'largest' lens I use with the NX500 is my 16-50mm PZ. I mostly use one of the 16, 20 or 30mm primes. Great quality/weight/balance combo.

I've had the 50-200mm for some time and apart from testing it I've hardly used it. Was impressed with it though during testing.

I have 4 cameras that I consider 'serious'; NX1, NX500, Pentax K5 and a K3ii. Of all these the NX500 with a pancake prime gets 90-95% usage. Just love the it.

Wow! I might use you in my defence next time my modest collection is queried.

Haha! Please do

The collection was on the web, archived here http://web.archive.org/web/20050305223035/http://www.toptown.com/nowhere/kypfer/f_index.htm 'till the hosting service stopped, but the information has been re-activated, slightly re-edited, (with my blessing) at http://kodak.3106.net/

Enjoy!

Good one,

Ive got 2 1000s,love em.

earlier this year I paid the equivalent of 120quid for a NX10 with 20-50 AND the 30mmF2(my favourite Sammy lens)

I gave my first NX10 away, years ago.So when I saw it so cheap with the 30.I pounced.

All good, you have a great collection.

Re: Samsung NX acquisition syndrome

I had NX1, NX30, NX300 and all of the lenses without the S zooms.

Now I still have NX500 + Samyang 8 and 12, NX 45, NX 85 and NX mini with 17mm.

Since I don't travel as before now I'm not using my NX often, 85 1.4 is just sitting packed.

The NX1 and S lenses are still amazing. Color and rendering out of this world (especially the 50-150mm)
