So you won't be keeping it ? I would think portrait would be its main alley, have you tried that ?

sure it want's to be my portrait lens. as the $$$ 85mm wants. but:

for quick portraits the 30mm is enough and gives me the small package with the "one lens for all feeling" - I do love the 30mm (one reason I'll send back the nex6 to amazon). if I have time I can use the 50mm 1.4 manually.

there is a difference between the 30mm and the 45mm, sure. but I don't think it is worth 300€ for me.

BUT I haven't tried potraits, the lens just is here for a few hours. will do the next days, against the 50mm and share my thoughts on that. and maybe I have to spend money and keep it

ive been on cyprus with the nx11, 16mm, 30mm and 85mm, i also put the 50-200mm in my luggage-hold case. The 85mm weighs an absolute ton, and doesnt like focusing at great disances, so i have substituted it (in my 3 lens bag) for the 50-200mm.

My only wish is that the new 45mm was a 55mm lens, it would have been so convenient to have a 16, 30, 55mm setup. As it is now i have to carry a hulking great lens for a short tele, which i dont really want to do.
