I have the nikkor 28mm AIS and can also confirm that it is a wonderful lens. As far as Contax Zeiss goes, all I have is the 50mm f1.7, but I really like it, it's sharp, contrasty, the cheapest of the lot, and seems to render cooler colors, especially blues, in a really wonderful, dreamy way, one of my favorite lenses for sure. The Zeiss Jena 35mm f/2.4 is also a really cool lens that I like using a lot, it has an insanely close minimum focus distance that practically makes it a macro lens. As others have mentioned, the helios 44-2 is also very fun to use and definitely "organic" using. I use all of these lenses on the NX1 and NX500.

Yeah I also had a lot of issues with the latest mod today, messed around with it at my house and it worked great, but later this afternoon out shooting portraits for a client it was freezing like crazy while taking stills, the autofocus points would stay on the screen but the shutter wouldn't fire, I had to pull out the battery like 3 times before finally just uninstalling the hack.

+1 +1 +1 I'd totally be willing to pool some money together and donate for a hack that can make this already amazing camera even better.

Hello, longtime lurker here. On this thread's (and Andy's) glowing recommendation I recently picked up one of the angenieux-design Tokina 28-70 f2.6-2.8 lens... (the PRO II version with bayonet hood) but unfortunately, in my excitement for a great ebay deal, I didn't realize that the canon-mount version I bought doesn't have manual aperture adjustment like the nikon-mount does, which is a bummer. But I was curious, because even in one of my canon cameras, the widest aperture it will show (electronically) is 2.8, not 2.6. Has anybody else experienced the same thing? Also, looking at some of the nikon mount versions on ebay, even though all of them say 2.6-2.8 on the front element, the aperture ring shows 2.8 on some of them, 2.6 on others, just has me a little confused, is this one of the differences between the PRO I and PRO II variants? Can any of you lens experts set me straight? Thanks!
