Samsung has unveiled two new lenses following on from the launch of its new flagship DSLR, the 14.6 mega-pixel GX-20.

The tech specs haven't been published yet but we do know that the new additions to the company's lens line-up are the D-XENON 18-55mm II F3.5-F5.6 and the 18-250mm F3.5-F6.3.

The two lenses are compatible with the GX-20 and its predecessor, the GX-10 DSLR.

Robert King, commercial director of Samsung Cameras said: "These two new lenses form part of the next step in Samsung's continued growth in the SLR market – the lenses used together with the new GX-20 offer superb quality and cutting-edge functionality."

The GX-20 and lenses are expected to be available from March.

The price for the GX-20 with 18-55mm lens is £699 while the price for the 18-250mm lens is to be confirmed.
