I had no idea Samsung even made a DSLR. I had to research them after your post, and noticed they list Schneider lenses. Do you by chance know if these are re-badges of Pentax lenses, or if there is any real Schneider DNA in them. I loved my Schneiders, regretted selling them and they will be one of the first things I buy again when I finish school.

There was a review in Amateur Photographer (UK Weekly - maybe a year or so ago) which compared a pair of Samsung/Schneider lenses (zooms I think) and the corresponding Pentax lenses. They appeared to be very very similar apart from small cosmetic differences and (possibly) different coatings.

On a different note Samsung is reported to be producing a 1.4/85 AF. Some sources suggest that it's based on the Samyang 1.4/85. You should be able to find these rumours on the Pentax forums.
