Yeah I own the 16-50... pretty sharp. Thing is the job I have right now requires a single lens from 16/18 to at least 130mm and the 18-200 is the only option Samsung offers to use autofocus (and fast) which I absolutely need. I also read the optics is pretty bad. Also I notice there's no cheap third party lenses flashes to use on the NX1 (another must for this job). Doesn't look like the NX system is ideal for photography.

Is it worth the money? The tamron 18-200 made for canon and nikon is a lot cheaper.

50mm is too long...I guess 18-200 is my only bet for using the nx1 for pics. I find it weird to invest so much money on this lens on a basically dead system.

Hello, I'm working for the winter on the ski slopes and I'm stuck using my old 550D with Canon EF lenses provided by employer. Being a video guy I have a set of manual lenses for my NX1. Since I'm only shooting pictures I need an all around lens for this purpose and I want to use the potential of the NX1 for pictures as well! Do you know if there's an adapter to use AF with third party lenses? I see that nobody makes lenses for NX1 and the only one made by Samsung is the 18-200mm.

Looks like the Helios lenses.

I want a 50% refund from Samsung. At this point they should lower the 16-50 S lens price as well.

I actually thought it just tells player how it should be display. Good to know it actually changes the way it records, so you basically loose information when you set 16-235?

I think it's a just a flag on the file, it doesn't change the way it records.

Can you do the opposite? Record in 16-235 and bring back 0-255?

Yeah I believe that's the reason.

I can also suggest to avoid shooting in 120p at high ISO. At 1600 details will be lost big time, I believe due to the bitrate too low for this framerate (?).

I don't have a CPU that powerful but I was able to get smooth playback of 4K HEVC 80Mbit files at 30p using latest MPC-HC x64 + LAV filter x64. I'm using a i5-3570k at 4Ghz.

I wanna see the footage as well...what kind of help do you need?

Imagine if they could hack the camera and achieve a more "raw" video quality. We could get a similar quality at 6400 like you did instead of that 1600 usable limit.

I got the adapter but I'm waiting for a friend to give me her vintage lenses

I tried to look up for pictures of the Nikon mount and I couldn't find the lever on the mount

I had the 16mm, great lens. Anyway the sigma 18-35mm 1.8 art is impossible to use on the nx1 with aperture control right? I see that it has no aperture lever on the back.

The one linked. It only works on G lenses of course. I use it with the Tokina 11-16.

Yeah they do exist, I got one (Nikon G mount basicallt) and it work pretty good.

Is it any faster compared to RM?

I suggest waiting for skylake laptops that have HEVC support in hardware!

That's the only thing I really don't like about the NX1, and that's sad considering what it can do.

Maybe a new CPU (Intel Skylake or AMD Carrizo) that supports h265 via hardware is needed.

The GH4 has more dynamic range than the NX1?

mmm I think you're wrong since I bought one... from the clips above I see the same artifact you get from warp stabilizer due to the rolling shutter. You don't see it?
