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

Thanks for this! I guess I too will stick to my NX 30/2 and the Rokkor 58/1.4.

may I ask which 58 version you use? My 58 is the old metal all around version and much heavier and more difficult to handle compared to the 50mm (so the 50 is still my fav)

I tried the 50mm 1.2 a few days but it was just heavier and $$$. A lot. And a bit sharper at f2, but not any better at wide. The legend 58 1.2 is to $$$ for me, I would go for the Samyang 85 1.4 again (great performance at wide!) if I should invest in a manual again.

among the 50mm rokkors, the 50/1.4 version seems to be the preferred 50mm in terms of overall rendering, price and size. although the 1.2's seem to get some attraction due to them being faster, the rendering and the insane demand for 1.2's nowadays doesn't make them worth it at all. for the same price that they are selling, might as well get a new Nokton 58mm.
