I have an nx300 that I have been playing with for a few months. I currently have the standard 20-50mm and the 30mm f2.0 which is a fun lens.

Suppose I have $400 burning a hole in my pocket and there isn't a canon lens I want in that price range. Which Samsung lens should I buy? It does not have to be exactly $400, but realistically I wont spend more than $500 on a lens for this system. What are your thoughts? Should I even bother buying more into the system?

Also I know this will come up. What do I shoot? Anything. I enjoy macro. I enjoy birding. I enjoy chasing my kids around a zoo and using the lens in low light situations. I have a Canon that I use for wide angle and portrit shooting when I take them.

I love NX300 with the 30mm, such an excellent combo! With your budget, you could buy for 400$ (at least that were the prices a couple of days ago that I looked) both the 50-200 AND the 45mm! Go check, as most of these lenses (the 16-50S is gone), are gone, and gone for good!

The 45 will become your favourite lens, super fast AF, perfect for indoors portraits and kids in general (short tele), and the 50-200 is always amaze me (especially between 50-150, 60-160, something like that, kind of soft at the very long end, but is currently a 199$ lens, brand new, with warranty and everything).
