Samsung Electronics has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.

Once in a while one of the Warsaw’s newspaper is organizing the so-called Photo Day.
Previous to that I was, took place in the Electro-Heating and some pictures is here:

This time the expedition was to the “Fat Katherine.”

It is one of the water intakes for Warsaw. It is set in a river some 200 meters from the shore. One way to measure the entrance to the underground tunnel is a passage of about 300 meters.

This time the tour was not enough and fast, just like the time for pictures. I did what I could, with the NX10 and EX1. In the dark corners good job was with 20mm lens, and sometimes flash.

One year of NXperience

This is the first post this year, I hope not the last. At home, more and more responsibilities, the time for anything less.

Samsung NX10 │ 1/13s │ f2.8 │ 20mm │ ISO 200

Samsung NX10 │ 1/125s │ f2.8 │ 20mm │ ISO 200

Time runs so fast that it’s been a year since I am the owner of NX10 and wonderful little devil named Natasha!

Samsung NX10 │ 1/60s │ f2.8 │ 20mm │ ISO 200

Samsung EX1 │ 1/60s │ f2.3 │ 12.3mm │ ISO 80

Within a year I became the owner 4 of 5 NX system lenses, I must say that I’m not fully satisfied because I lack a macro lens – so awaited, perhaps imparted to even fish-eye to enhance creativity.

Samsung NX10 │ 1/40s │ f4.3 │ 82mm │ ISO 200

Samsung NX10 │ 1/40s │ f2.8 │ 20mm │ ISO 100

Each new lens for me is getting better! Moreover, confirmed by various tests. But tests are tests, I prefer taking pictures than worrying about technical matters.

About The NX I can tell you – it works all the time just as well as in January 2010.
Counter shows nearly 7200 only photos, because I still have the EX1 which the counter shows2300 photos. This is a 9600 photos by the year, or about 26 pictures a day. I do not know whether this is a good or a bad result?

Samsung EX1 │ 1/90s │ f1.8 │ 5.2mm │ ISO 80

During one of the photo day, I managed to flood it with water, but luckily it survived and still works. I tried it also freeze at the snow – still works!
I have not tried to throw it, but it was tested by others with NX100 – still works!

In the beginning there were a few minor problems, but thankfully the developers have eliminated them from Samsung, I hope that it will introduce a few more minor improvements as the selection of JPG compression ratio, and AMOLED viewfinder.

By NX10 back my passion for photography. I always say that the pictures you can take by any camera, even a cell phone – hmmm pity that I do not have the Samsung S Galaxy only Wildfire with camera hopeless :)

During the year, it seems to me that I did a lot to improve my skills, I also know how much work is ahead of me. Fortunately, I have now excellent tool that enables me to develop skills and create new interesting vision.

20mm sounds good!

Samsung Electronics has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.

From a few days I’m lucky owner of 20mm to NX cameras system. So far my favorite lens was a 30mm, but it seems that I have a new favorite.

The new lens is made of very solid, if you have a 30mm and you say this is it, then wait for the 20mm. Glass is slightly larger than 30mm, the materials of which it is made perfect in my opinion. Filters have 43mm diagonal, too bad that there is no lens hood. As usual, in the box is a stand and pouch and manual.

The lens has a metal mount, it only shows a plus of its quality. Ring for the function works much better, than the previous lenses. Feel the gentle resistance when turning.
The new lens has a “i-Fn” function . It’s very interesting, not seen anywhere!

I’ve tried to use it and checked it, but personally I prefer the control of the camera (I’ve NX10), NX100 has a slightly different button layout, so in this model may be a totally different feeling.
After mounting the 20mm to NX10, button “iFn” hiding a little under the cover of flash that may be a small hurdle in use, but just get used to it and no problem.
According to the manual focus lens captures from 17cm, but I think it is a 14-15cm.
