I am torn for a while between the NX 85, the 50-150 and/or Samyang/Jupiter 85. I think I prefer the NX85, but the versality of the 50-150, and price/character of the manual ones make them really attractive.

Do you have an opinion about it?

Thank you very much.

I like the nice telephoto lenses and I'm missing something longer than 85 for action shots(faster focus and versatile). For portraits I'm happy with the NX 85. Even Samyang's 85 is nice lens for that.

Also with 50-150 I would have to go for NX1 and that is too expensive for the current situation around the NX system. And 50-150 is not long enough for me, I need something 300+ too. So I'm observing the options from the other manufacturers and I'll get another system for telephoto at some point.

I do wish I had the financial capability to buy all those (maybe in the long run I will though), I do have the NX1 and I need something better than the 50-200, but the NX situation is a bit weird right now to invest in "expensive" lenses (the body I do not mind, as I use it for video with manual lenses anyway).

Thank you very much, keep photographing, and keep posting!
