Really a solid and serious lens! So now I need NX1 too? Slow focusing yes. At one often used distance you know, faster if you "prefocus"? Or is that bad for the motor? - Interesting to see focusing in the dark.

How do you prefocus?

Well.... Was trying to adjust according to distance. But the lens is fixing that itself. Awesome results at 30 to 50 meters. Best lens I have had. But maybe of limited use.

Ah, I think I see what you mean. I think the 85mm is one of the only lenses with a distance scale written on the lens?

Don't know about that. Wonder if any of you know if someone has written about the use of this lens?

... and focusing! I know it can be difficult, but completely impossible one evening with sunset clouds, even focusing on the mountain top. Never had that problem with any camera/lens. Grateful for any advice.
