One for $550 here and two for the same at ebay. What people WANT. But the REAL price?

There is no real price. For those with NX cameras, 85mm could be worth a lot, but I wouldn't pay more than 350USD. The thing is, for portaits, it is ideal to have a wireless (radio) external lighting system for optimum results. Since Samsung has no such option, the whole system is best for landscape, macro, videos, etc., but not for portraits. At least, that is how I've used my Samsung NX system. Another reason is the poor out-of-camera (OOC) jpeg skin tones in Samsung NX system--Sony has the same issue (I much prefer Pentax for OOC skin tones, though I've heard good things about Fujifilm also)

Personally, I'm no longer interested in NX 85mm because I already have the following lenses-- for NX or for other systems (all with autofocus):

• Samsung 60mm f/2.8
• Tamron 90mm f/2.8
• Pentax 100mm f/2.8
• Minolta AF 135mm f/2.8

Not into portraits, more about night photos and animals, ok distance from my windows.

Hmm ok.

And how is it for video?

It should be good for videos since it has the SSA focusing system.

The Minola 135, how do you get autofocus?High price for the adapter?

It is an autofocus lens. Works on my Sony a68 without any adapters. It also works fine with autofocus on my a3000 with LA-EA2 adapter. Yes, the adapter is a bit expensive.
