The 60mm is the only prime Samsung currently makes that has OIS. It's a fairly fast f/2.8 and offers macro focusing down to 7.4 inches. It has a focus limit switch to disable macro focusing for telephoto work. It's $469 from Amazon right now.

The 50-200mm is a good lens, it has OIS, and it's the longest lens currently available from Samsung. It's not that great in the speed department, f/4.0 to 5.6, but it's only $329.

The 85mm f/1.4 is as fast as Samsung makes them, and it's a beauty of a lens with an incredibly tight depth of field and excellent bokeh. It would also just about break the bank for you, at around $763. No OIS either, but it's bright enough you probably won't need it. It is a bit of a tricky lens for the novice, because the depth of field can be as little as 4.7 mm!

If that's too much money, the 45mm lens has an excellent f/1.8, making it Samsung's second fastest lens, and it has a price tag of just $269 for the 2D only version. Again, no OIS, but it should be fast enough not to need it.  I have the 2D/3D version of this lens, but the 3D is really more of a gimmick and not really all that useful; it adds another $60.
