Re: NX100 and FD lens

Thanks for the reply, you guys are awesome.

So what it did turn out to be was the adapter does not fully depress the little button inside that tells you there is lens. Emailed them but all they offered was to send another one which wouldn't help.

What I'll eventually do is look into a way to thicken up the adapter ring, or maybe permanently push in the lens button...

As it is now, I found at that in the developer options on the NX100 you can select 'fire no lens'. This makes the camera shoot the shutter even without a lens on!

The only downside here is that you can't use focus assist...so focussing is a bit trickier

Looks like I'm getting the hang of it! Love this old glass.
