Samsung NX500 lenses...

Hi guys!

I have my NX500 and I'd like to get a new lens. I was aiming for 45mm f1.8 lens, but apparently i cannot find it anywhere in my country (Indonesia), and some retailer even said it is not being produced anymore. Anyone know other alternatives for lens that is good for portrait shots? I knew that Samsung can use a 'bridge' lens to use another lens, but I also have no idea which one I should get...

Please help ><

Re: Samsung NX500 lenses...

I don't think any of the lenses are being produced anymore

For portraits you may consider the 85mm, the 60mm or even the 30mm at a push. The NX 500 is fairly compact so it would make sense to use either the 45mm or the 30mm,as these are also a compact size.

Have a look on ebay or amazon as I've seen the 45mm pop up quite a few times and that's one of my favourite lenses.

I do agree, NX500+45mm is an amazing combo. There are a lot in Korea, selling for around 250$. What about ebay?

You can use other lenses, but the 45 is very fast focusing, and amazing bokeh, super fast (1.8f), excellent focal length for portraits and some kind of general use (and street photography).
