Hi all!

I've just ordered a Samsung NX20 as an upgrade to my NX100. My lens line-up will now be 16mm, 30mm, 20-50mm, 18-55mm and 50-200mm.

I'd really like to get my hands on a macro lens but can't afford to splash out on the 60mm NX lens after buying the camera. Can anyone recommend a decent legacy lens plus adapter that would work with the NX at a decent price (cheaper the better as this is hobby stuff and I'm not sure how much use I'll get out of the macro lens yet - as long as it isn't totally rubbish! ). Can be available either in the UK or US.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Matt

While not giving true MACRO you can get extension tubes. The ones that I've linked to below allow you to use your normal Samsung lens, but giving close up shots. As I said they do not give MACRO close ups, but do give considerably closer shots than jusr a normal lens could. The set below also have electrical contacts, thus allowing your lens to have its normal AF and AE. They really are quite good for the price. They were recommended here, and I bought a set. I am happy with the purchase, just wainting for the spring and summer now, and hoping it won't be raining then.
