There is a problem with this cheap adapters and NX300.

If you look at the images on this site

http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2013/05/samsung-nx300-hands-on-realistic-3d-photos-and-videos-from-one-lens/

you will see that there is a pin at the bottom left side of the camera body.The NX300 seems to expect it to be pressed in more deeply than previous NX models.

Have a look at the lens bayonet on this page, you'll see that it is the same hight like the electrical contacts. On the ebay page you can see in the third image (under description) that there is a half mm space on the lens bayonet to the three "wings". They ar thinner. Too thin for NX300.

I have tried three different Minolta-NX adapter, all with the same problem

Samsung original one (NX-PK) works perfectly but it is costly.

Thanks a lot for the answer xorgh. They should not say for all Samsung camera then.

Does any know if the following woks on NX300 and if it has good-tight fit with K-lenses?

Or suggest another model that has been tested to work OK on NX300. The original one indeed costs a lot.
