just rumor I read.

Interesting that they say that, Giliath in the comments section says the original Chinese source doesn't say that.  Maybe they have some other sources we don't know about, but I think I read a google translate of that source in the past and I don't remember that lens from then.  Who knows, I'm going to just be a pessimist, that way I can be pleasantly surprised with what Samsung does bring rather than disappointed with what they don't deliver.

It is not the latest one. The latest was about 50-150 f/2.8 to be announced in November this year.

Both are excellent. Probably the 45 is more useful in more settings as you do not need to stand back so far to shoot.... The 85 is razor sharp and much heavier. If it's a money thing as well the 45 is excellent.

Dear Clappy, you'd be surprised how many of us read just about every post on this forum, especially us newbie types. Your question was a good one. If only I had the budget to buy some of these primes...

... you should use this kit lens, it's worth using.  I won't wax poetic here, but I'm sure you'll see many good words about the kit lens on this forum if you stick around a bit or read some of the previous posts on the topic of the kit lens.
