Re: Portrait lens for Samsung NX APS-C

I have a Samsung Galaxy NX and Samsung 45mm F1.8 lens for portraits. The problem with this lens is that 45mm in an APS-C is a bit restrictive. I would like to find something which offers wider view. One example is Sony E 35mm F1.8 OSS or the Sony A 35mm F1.8 SAM.

  1. Could you recommend an adapter for this scenario?
  2. Any other lenses of other brands I should consider?
  3. Would adapters work well and support all the features of the lenses, like auto-focus?

Thanks!

As others have said, if you want autofocus you have to stick with Samsung. If you want full length portraits get the 30. The 45 is excellent for a little tighter shot. For headshots get the 60 or 85. The 85 is also great for full length at wide apertures if you have the working distance.
