This is really, really bad. One of the reasons for me to get a nx300 would be to use it with legacy lenses, thx to the focus peaking feature. I hope a new firmware is out soon, to fix all those many many bugs in nx300.

as said: it works, but with a lens change, it is somehow resetting the FW into a state where the legacy ones cannot activate certain features, so swapping back and forth gets it back.

I do not want to do QA for Samsung here but it seems this is not a feature issue but a buggy first FW version for certain use cases (most likely those that Samsung themselves did not intensively test)
