Re: fast lenses for NX100

I have to agree with Eric, the NX100 is not a natural choice as a sports camera. It excels as a Travel, Architecture and Landscape camera given its size. It's still excellent for these roles in good light however the later NX cameras have much better high ISO/Low Light handling and may probably make a better platform for trying some sports action, but apart from some of the fast prime lenses there really is very little support for the sort of NX lenses you want for action shots.

Having said that, with some extra work on the part of the photographer it should be possible to achieve something - particularly if you don't mind working in Bllack and White. The reason for that is that you can then set a much faster shutter speed with a high ISO and while there may be noise in the image it is less obtrusive than in colour.
