Hello,

My favorite lenses are 30mm f2 and 85mm F4.

For portrait photography, the 85mm is a beast with an incredible sharpness and creamy bokeh. I've never found similar satisfaction even in my other setup for example (fuji xt2 with 56mm f1.2).

For everyday shoot, the 30mm is great as well. Such quality in that small package.

These 2 lenses are the only reasons i'll continue to stick with my NX500 for as long as it will survive from being totally worn out. I'll eventually be looking for another NX500/NX1.

Finally only drawback is the AF, that may be unreliable at times. Never had one of those S- Line lenses, a d Wonder if AF is really improved or not.

Good choices! Love that 85mm!

Autofocus is better on the s lenses, markedly so. It's much quieter too which is great for video.
