I was wondering why Samsung didn’t show anything new at CP+. But here they are the upcoming new NX lenses. Form left to right you have the 50-200mm, 18-200mm , 85mm f/1.4, 60mm Macro, 16mm f/2.8 and the Silver 20mm and 20-50mm lenses. You can find more pictures at SLRclub here and here. Those are all nice lenses but my question now is: Will there be third party lenses too? Sony and Micro Four Thirds just got the support from Sigma, Zeiss and Cosina. So will Samsung do everything alone?

Hmmm, sweet 85mm f/1.4… m43 guys really have to pull their fingers out…
85 1,4…Thats what I want for my G1:D
Add the i-function to the 30mm f/2, bring out a smallish 50mm f/1.7 with distance scale, and you’ve got yourself a pretty good (and reasonably compact) prime lens system.
Now all we need is an updated sensor and firmware for the NX5/10/11 body, and Samsung has a winner in its hands.
Gimme these 3 and I’ll be happy 95% of the time:
– 16mm f/2.4
– 30mm f/2
– 50mm f/1.7
Add something like a 100mm f/2.8 and that’ll plug that 5% hole, although I realise that with an 85mm f/1.4 in the lineup a 100mm lens is unlikely. Maybe I would just “make do” with the 85 😉
Keep working, Samsung; you’ll be rewarded for your efforts as soon as your CMOS sensor catches up with Sony’s current offerings.
