Re: samsung 45mm 1.8 @ nx20 - my 5c

I really do think the announcement of the 2d/3d lens was in effect the notice of the cancellation of the 2d only lens though Samsung are never going to say this directly and obviously a few were produced. I am sure they are desperate to push 3d and if they still produced the 2d no one would buy the 3d lens so they will keep the former in short supply even if they produce them.

The politics going on between the divisions in this company must be a joy to behold but I suspect NX has been told to toe the line and push the 3d lost cause.

I do love to follow the virtual world of Samsung NX lenses. It is like a real life adventure weaving between truth and fantasy and you never know which is which. The UK site on the NX page shows 11 lens in a group but on the actual lens page there are only 8 different lenses. Park Cameras have more than this so they have more lenses than Samsung UK know exist. Some of them are the Mk111 versions of the original lens but few seem to know what the difference is.

Edit: I must say Samsung are putting on a good show but it is difficult to see how the user can see ahead though to to be fair I would think Samsung themselves have little idea either.

Thanks for sharing. I was looking for exactly the 45mm f/1.8 at the last photo shoot I did, I kept having to crop my 30mm shots, and the 60mm was too telephoto. Too bad my lens hasn't come in yet
