Hi everyone,

G'day. Welcome to the fun.

I'm new to the photography world and have a question. Do they make lens adaptors for the Canon to put a NX lens on?

NX lenses have to be mounted 25.5mm from the image sensor to be able to focus at infinity. EF and EF-S lenses (the lenses that fit the T3) are mounted 44mm from the sensor, so if you were able to find an adapter to mount an NX lens on a T3, you would only be able to focus real close. In other words, there's no chance of finding a product to do that.

The EOS M has an 18mm flange distance, so you could use an NX lens like normal on one of them if you could find an adapter (I couldn't find any in a brief search, though there are many that go the other way - to mount a Canon DSLR lens on an NX camera).
