Thanks for that, good info there. Glad the focus markings as still usable, that will make zone focusing easier

I'd guess the reason for the glass in dslr adapters and not in NX ones is that the camera mount on a dslr is already the the correct distance from the sensor so needs the glass to correct for it being put further away because of the thickness of the adapter, where as on the NX system the adapter moves mount out to the correct distance so doesn't need the glass. I think! lol

What you said sounds interesting and also makes sense. For a long time I used to feel sad that I couldnt use some of my old canon fd glasses on my dslrs because of the flange issue and use of glass adapters. The nx might have opened a new channel for me to use the lenses. Planning on buying an adapter and trying out to see how it works!
