Re: NX300 first experience, coming from a D800

Thanks for the info!  I have always preferred working with RAW myself too.

I really like the 85mm f/1.4 too, but feel it balances much better with the NX30 (rather you can hold it much better since the NX30 has a much better grip).  It isn't terrible on the NX300, but very front heavy and you hold by the lens more than the body.

The 30 and 45mm are sweet lenses, what I think you will learn to like about the 45mm f/1.8 is that it offers DSLR focus speed in moderate to good light.  I know what you mean though, if you are looking for a longer telephoto it is a bit short, but I find it pretty comfortable since it is comparable to the 70mm ends of a 24-70mm or 70mm-200mm f/2.8 used on full frame, and depth of field is going to be the same as well.

Eric
