Re: Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8 DX Fisheye on Samsung NX300??

The Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8 DX is a G type lens without aperture ring and internal motor, so it has not even a functioning AF with all actual Nikon DSLRs ...;-)

Since the aperture of Nikon lenses is mechanical controlled trough levers from the camera and not electrical like with Canon lenses, it's most unlikely, that there will ever be an adapter which is able to fully control the lens with AF and aperture.

If you'll buy a Nikon adapter look out for one, that supports G type lenses. They have a ring to control the aperture, otherwise you will only have the smallest aperture available. F22 is a little bit dark...;-)

I would most likely sell the 10.5 and buy the Samsung.
