NX1 and 85mm (great combo)

Love this combo. With the new firmware update, the focussing is much better /accurate

The 85mm looks so dreamy wide open @ 1.4. Great shots.

Would really love to own this lens. I'm wondering how difficult it would be to use on my smaller NX500 body.

Thanks. I got the 85 for £391 on ebay. Deal of the year.

I used it on the nx300 and was ok. But you have to hold the lens rather than camera body. The camera is attached to the lens... Not the other way round!

WHAT!!?!?!! That price is INSANE.

I'm curious about the size and weight of the 85. Would you happen to know how it is compared to the 16-50S?

How would you rate the AF with the NX1 after FW1.3 compared to other lenses (for reference)?

Got mine for less than $350 brand new from official Samsung shop

85 is a little heavier than 16-50. And its AF speed is limited by its slow motor, so it wont differ much from speed on any other FW or even any other camera.

85mm is not as fast as 16-50s but it is not terrible -I used it a the weekend -took many photos of my constantly moving kids and got many keepers.  It is a lovely lens but heavy!

The last time I used it I found it a bit too slow focusing, but now I hear that with fw 1.3 it improved a lot. I'll try.
