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. -
The 16-235 is considered broadcast safe. It should be used in camera only when one is not planning to grade the footage.
The reason is that it DOES change what is recorded, by reducing the discrete steps that the full range of intensities are recorded. When broadcasting the footage most of the times it is not important but during grading the footage will be more prone to banding.
There should also be a flag in the file that some programs use to display the footage correctly. This is a bug in premiere and it is easily fixed by applying an adjustment layer with the levels increased. But adobe should fix it.
Yes. Premiere (and most NLEs) work in 0-255 RGB mode.
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 always wondered the same thing. I mean...16-235 is a smaller discrete interval than 0-255. So, it's straightforward that you can map 0-255 exactly to 16-235, but is the opposite possible?
What am I missing?
I think it's a just a flag on the file, it doesn't change the way it records.
-
This saves you having to apply the Fast Color Corrector in post but you can of course record in 0-255 and bring back the shadow detail and highlight roll off nicely with that
Can you do the opposite? Record in 16-235 and bring back 0-255?
-
I've had this same problem, but only when the camera was shut off or went to sleep. I figured it was parking the internals of the lens in a safe position. Is your camera doing this without going to sleep or being turned off?
Yeah I believe that's the reason.

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?

Imo nx1 could be much improved via a fw update implementing higher bitrates and better encoding algorithm. If I shoot a still at iso 6400 using raw, then apply slight nr and enhance sharpness a little bit in lightroom, then resize it to 8mp (4k like) I get a much, much better image compared to a frame grab from 4k video at iso 6400.
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.

anybody tried a M42 to NX adapter, I got a bunch of excellent M42 optics but I tried it with a GH4 and was very disapointed? It felt like the glass was to far from the sensor and I'm afraid it could be the same with the NX1...
I got the adapter but I'm waiting for a friend to give me her vintage lenses

I want to grab one of the Samsung pancake lenses soon, They all seem to be great and I love what I'm seeing, but I'm not seeing a whole lot from these lenses and the nx-1.
nx-1 users, which pancakes have you used, and what did you think?I'm debating picking up the 20mm or 30mm soon.
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.
-
-
True, although I didn't see any Nikon-NX adapters on B&H that offer aperture control.However, this one on eBay seams to be the one!

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

You can use FFmpeg, it's free and works great. It has a simple command line, like to convert H.265 to ProRes, you just say: ffmpeg -i foo.mp4 -vcodec prores foo.mov. I wrote a simple batch file on Windows 10 that I drag all the files onto, and it converts them in one shot. Real easy. If you prefer a UI, you can use wrappers like Rocky Mountains, but it's still FFmpeg underneath.
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?
-
Sandro, it's very clear that you don't like the nx1. Every time you bash it. Why is that? You could simply buy anything else and be happier.
Btw I don't see any artifact in my videos when using dis. I'm very happy with it. Now I'd just want samsung to improve the dr, introduce a log profile and implement some of the user requested features.
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?
AF lenses for NX system
In: Cameras
Posted
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.
