Re: First lens for the NX300

I would vote for 30mm - It is a great balance where you can get good bokeh, but also get pictures where everything is in focus without too much trouble, which makes it a very versatile lens.

I like the 45mm pretty well but I don't use it nearly as much in practice, in part because of reduced portability since it isn't a pancake.

If you really *only* care about portraits and want the background to be very blurred, 45mm could be a bit better. (And yes, it does focus a bit faster).
