You mention about the 30mm with an ifn button and whilst I think this might be a good idea, personally I've never been able to get used to the ifn button on other lenses. It seems like a good idea in theory but the button is in different places on different lenses so if you change lenses a lot, it can be hard to use it without looking.

I started to use it during winter as it was more convient than the buttons on the back of the cameras when wearing gloves.

The button is on a similar place on 10, 16, 20 and 45 lenses so I started to get used working with it. Pressing the non existing button on 30mm lens really was annoying so I more and more used the 20mm lens instead of the 30mm lens what is a pity as I really like the focal lenght and performance. I would not hasitate a second to buy another 30mm lens if it had iFn button. Of course this is a very personal opinion and as lot of users do not mind so my chances that Samsung sees enough demand to update it are poor.
