Hi,

I have for sale a brand new, unused original Samsung (not a knock-off) K to NX adapter, wich lets you mount any K-mount lens on an NX body (manual focus only).

The best price I've seen online is £120, mine is £60 plus shipping, o.n.o.

Easter bump, offers considered

Actually I've made some tests at home, and I found the 12-24 sharper than the DA15 (the DA15 needs f/11 - f/16 to reach the performance of the 12-24), and equal to the DA21 in sharpness.
As you say, the advantage of these primes are the size, and for the DA15, flare resistance, I believe.

I also compared the 12-24 to the Tamron 10-24 and the Sigma 10-20, and found the Pentax MUCH sharper, especially away from the image center, for me it belonged to a different class altogether.

Nice one!

That was the way the deal was packaged: choose any NX body with 20-50 kit lens, this 12-24 and the K-NX adapter, for a very good price.
I took advantage of it because my wife's compact had just died a few weeks before, and I wanted to try this NX as a replacement.

I've had the 12-24 in the past, sold it since I just kept the K-01 and a few primes (DA15 and DA21 among them) for "light travel", as well as that same Nikon-mount Tokina-branded 12-24 for my D7000, for "nature and wildlife". The 12-24 is an outstanding lens, better than the DA15 and equal to the DA21 in my opinion.

Hi John,

Sorry about the confusion, it is the K-mount 12-24 (constant f/4), not the NX-mount one, which I wasn't aware existed, hence the oversight.

Hello,

I have this brand new lens for sale (bought it together with a Samsung NX mirroless body here on Amazon during a promotion) which I haven't used at all.

The price is 500€ (~£430) including shipping to anywhere in Europe.
