Looks excellent. I think Samsung as been discounted as a back for legacy MFs because the flange distance was incompatible with mounting leica m mount lenses. This dimemsion has paid dividends for samsung wrt their own lens's performance, but obviously left it out of favour with the M people.

Its possible to modify it for M-mount lens, if you are tiny bit insane (involves cutting not necessary parts inside camera :D). But it can be done..
But apart of M-lens there is still plenty of other mounts to use. Certainly Samsung NX isnt limited platform for alternative lens.
