Guys, do you know if I can use the Tamron 10-24mm like the Tokina 11-16 in the Nikon mount? Does it have a Nikon G mount so that I can control aperture with a simple adapter on the NX1?

I'm thinking of getting the Tokina 11-16 Nikon mount (first version). Do you think this adapter has aperture control? http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Pixco-Lens-Mount-Adapter-Suit-For-Nikon-F-Mount-G-Lens-to-Samsung-NX-Camera-NX3000/32241280796.html

I like A/B for all scenes, D is a no-go. Camera A looks like the GH4 to me

cool! lenses and ISO?

One thing I don't get about the bad high ISO quality is that instead of digital noise/grain you get that horrible banding and green-y image. I doubt this could be fixed with FW updates, the sensor is just not for low light at all.

With the nx1?

Samsung should really create a bug tracker system. If it doesn't exist I will gladly make one so we can collect all bugs for engineers to see.

It's not fixed, I'm using that version. It clearly shows that who tested it is not interested in the video part since its a pretty important feature for someone who shoots manual.

​Nope! I'm currently using the 16mm f/2.4 and also the 16-50 that I will get does not have a AF/MF switch on the lens, it's controlled eletronically. The only workaround that I found it to pause the video recording instead of stopping it to keep the manual focus on otherwise you're back to AF every single time!

​I'm referring to the fact that when you set manual focus for video when you finish recording it goes back to auto focus... that's an important bug for me.

I'm really disappointed with the low light performance, at 1600 and above you start getting awful banding which never happened with the 550D. I wonder why the low light is so bad compared to older camers with 25MP sensors like the Nikon D5300. Also that bug of manual focus with samsung lenses is a PITA.

I went outside for the first test with the Samsung 16mm F2.4 and the fact that when you set manual focus it goes back to AF when finished recording is RIDICULOUS!!! Every time I hit record I have remember to set Manual Focus? Are you kidding me? I never use AF so this bug is a huge problem.

I have one question: are those addition 4MP responsible for the bad low light performance of the NX1? I mean the NX1 is basically unusable above 1600 and these 24MP new cameras perform very well at 12800!, how is it possible?

Seems like a some kind of refresh rate problem.

I tried the latest version of MPC-HC (that I've been using for years with LAV) that includes the latest version of internal LAV filters but on my PC 4k files are not smooth, I have a i5-3570k overclocked @ 4Ghz. Also with external LAV (0.65) I get the same results. Weird since my CPU is supposed to be much better than the i7 860 Ivar Kristjan Ivarsson has! Unless you're using some sort of HW decoding from the Nvidia GPU.

​Thanks, I don't need that adapter for the Tokina but for an old Nikkor lens. But thanks anyway I didn't know about this!

​Problem is the NX1 from what I read won't shoot any pictures or video with no lens attached and you can't disable the warning (eg "shoot without lens"). Are you sure these adapters will make the NX1 think a lens is attached even with no chip on?

Even with Gamma DR we should set Sharpness to -10? I don't like digitally sharpened images.

Will this adapter show "no lens attached"? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nikon-AI-AIS-F-Lens-to-Samsung-NX-Adapter-NX5-NX10-NX11-NX210-NX300-NX1000-CAP-/321151585263?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ac6204bef Is this controlled with a pin on the mount or electronically? I mean will it be a problem is focus getting that warning message or will it disappear? I just got my NX1!

I see, Anyway even used the Tokina v1 is always double the price of a new 10-18.

Is the 16-50mm PZ lens shipped with the NX3000 the same one as the NX1 (not the S lens)?

great point for the Nikon f mount since they're all manual anyway... problem is the 10mm won't accept filters and I need to use a CPL filter for nature shooting, it helps a lot. The tokina is expensive I bought the nx1! Next is the 16-50mm apparently if it's better than the 18-55.

Thanks, it's either the tokina or the samyang 12mm because I need to use a cpl filter so the 10mm won't do it what about the 18-55 vs 16-50 PZ comparison? I can only buy the body so I need to get the kit lens separately. The 16-50 costs more but is it worth the extra cash in terms of quality? The motorized zoom looks weird to me being used to manual...also for what I could find the 18-55 doesn't rate that high but it's $80 less.

​I can confirm what you're saying. I clearly remember that when you set the focus to auto on the lens the focus ring won't do anything unless you set it back to manual. So it's controlled electronically!

OK so I have the Samyang options that are quite affordable for 12-10mm focal lengths. In terms of lens quality and video-oriented features what would you choose the 18-55mm III or the 16-50mm PZ?
