So, I'm still curious to know if some of the new, more premium NX lenses have the same kind of focus clutch and hard stops built in them, (I would think/hope they do), or are they all like the 45mm lens, with no manual focus 'feel' whatsoever. If someone can confirm that, please feel free to chime in.

Oh well, nevermind, I figured it out. Apparently only the 60mm macro and the 85mm are like that, and the rest of the primes are like the 45mm, with a 'numb' focus ring. Maybe the new S series zooms are, too. That's not much, but it's a start. Hopefully Samsung will improve their lens selection soon. The existing lens lineup may not (will not) be enough for the potential new NX1 buyers.

Sorry, I didn't mean to ignore you - I just hadn't visited here in a while is all.

There aren't any fancy stops, or any nice special feel to the focus ring... personally, I find it a bit confusing, unintuitive - not at all like using an old manual lens.

If you are into the NX1, I think that the new 16-50mm f2 is more appropriate for your needs.

Unfortunately, I don't own one of those (but would love to, as it would replace all my current lenses).  Choice of lenses is one of the most important factors (if not the most important) in choosing a camera system - and I don't just mean choice, but what is among the choice.
