likelihood of the 300mm s lens becoming available?

Hello all,

First, let me say that I love my nx30 over all the other cameras I have ever used (it has the most convenient and intuitive dmf and focus peaking and manual controls, for the way I shoot)
And I know that no-one knows, and I don't want to start a kerfluffle or any negative comments, but if I could have a rumor, speculation, guess, bet, or anything about whether or not the 300mm S lens will actually be released or not, it would really help me in my future decisions about which cameras to keep and which to move on from.

I don't want to leave the great features of the nx behind, but  I need a longer, faster lens for my birding. (and yes, I use all the little tricks with the 200, but it just doesn't get me where I need to be)

I have had loads of fun playing with adapters and old glass, getting greater focal length, but they are just not the quality I am looking for. And on this note, did you know that focus peaking works with legacy lenses on the nx? how cool is that.

In researching where to go over to the dark side in the canikon world, to get the longer reach I was a bit shocked to find that they don't use focus peaking, and the intuitive controls and comfort of the nx30 in my small hands is missing, so I am reluctant to sell and switch.....but, am I waiting for this lens in vain?

ANSWER:
Samsung NX30
