Samsung 50-200 for portraits or something else?

I have a nx1000 and last days i am considering buying a telephoto lens and my current budget is limited. The ideal lens for me would be the samsung 85mm f/1,8 but right now this is not an option for me.

So for now i have 2 options

1) Samsung 50-200mm

2) An old 85mm mf lens with F/1,8, i found some at ebay from 100 usd

The lens will be mainly used for portraits and maybe some landscapes that are far away. I have seen some portraits from the old 85mm lenses i have in mind and i was impressed but i had not see portraits from 50-200mm yet. How is his quality? Is the bokeh good?

Also how many versions of the samsung 50-200mm are out there? Because i think a saw somewhere a samsung 50-200mm version II and somewhere else version III

Samsung NX1000
