Samsung is going up

Many people enjoy Samsung mirrorless system. Recently guys at Lensrentals were impressed with details resolved by NX1 equipped with 16-50 F2.0-2.8 OIS lens. DPReview posted very exciting comments about NX1. The list can be extended.

Unfortunately, Samsung mirrorless system has a very narrow distribution channels in Australia. Some big camera stores such as Ted's Cameras don't even list Samsung lenses on their sites. My favorite Digital Camera Warehouse keeps just a few lenses (based on their web site). I guess the lenses can be ordered on request but it is just my guess. Camera House chain has the most comprehensive choice of Samsung optics I came across here in Down Under. Somewhat surprising, the prices are reasonable.

Samsung produced a number of very good lenses for the NX mount in "consumer" price range. It is the first mirrorless system, so many lenses do not have "recently released" premium. The company offer compact and SLR-like bodies with decent specification.
