Re: NX100 and FD lens

The flickering of no lens would imply that the lend present pin inside the mount is not being fully depressed. You can thicken the adapter a little on the portion that contacts the pin with some scotch tape or some other simple mechanical fix. It's just due to a bit too much tolerance in the adapter manufacturing and a somewhat weighty lens (I'll sometimes get it with a 75-300 4-5.6, but not at all with a 28-135 3.5-5.6, that's on my EF to NX adapter, my FD to NX one is flawless, even with a 70-200 2.8-3.5 attached). Not sure what's up with it kicking the bucket though.
