There's also a 45/1.8 prime, never used it, but maybe someone can comment it a bit? Seems like a decent prime with its max. 1.8 aperture. I think they also had a version with 3D effect somehow built in the lens - need to figure it out also (Samsung named it 2D/3D lens).

I found one locally very cheap, for less than $100. It is tempting as the reviews I read says it quite a performer. However, I am no sure the focal length will be useful considering I will get the 30mm and 60mm. But it is so cheap!

Good luck with your decisions with NX500 and once the decision is made, it would be great to hear your first impressions!

I've pulled the trigger today and the NX500 should arrive next tuesday. Looking forward to it!

The 45 produces wonderful images and the small size makes a nice fit for portraits with the NX500. The only downside is the lens hood. It doesn’t reverse on the lens so it’s easy to misplace. At that price I’d grab it.
