My favorites are the 85mm and the 50-150mm - both are great for portraits. The 45mm is no slouch either in this department. The tele-zoom is a bit bulky so more often than not I find myself not having it in my bag. It can also a bit intimidating for the subject. But the shots I got with it are amazing and the autofocus is superb.

I got both the NX1 and NX500. For the smaller camera I use smaller lenses - 10mm, 30mm, 45mm. The 12-35mm makes the NX500 hang, not sure what's up with that. So the wide-angle zoom only gets used on the NX1 these days. On the NX1 the 15-50S stays on most of the time. This lens is truly amazing as well.

All these NX lenses in my kit are fantastic. If someone came up with a way to adapt them to Fuji cameras I would go for it immediately. The XT4 looks quite tempting, but I wouldn't want to let the NX lenses go to waste.
