Dear Memebers,

I am trying to use some legacy lenses on the NX Mini there however is no adapter available. Going the way with the NX-M to NX adapter followed by an N M42 adapter seems absurd to me, let alone the price for the NX-M NX adapter which is nearly as much as the NX Mini itself.

Hi,

US price is ~$120... it's not cheap... but ~half the price of the Pentax K for Q adapter !

I tried to find a direct T2 adapter for the NX-Mini... but I can't !

The French importer doesn't understand the usefulness of the MA4NXM ... !?!?

so I bought one in Germany for €133 + the T2 Adapter for NX mount €20 !

.

Does anyone know the flange/register distance fo the NX-Mini mount? I meausred it to be approx. 6,5mm using the sensor plane marking on the bottom of the NX mini.

.

~6.5mm is the distance from the IR-Cut filter (+1mm) to the mount

Thickness of the MA4NXM adapter is 18mm, so the NX-Mini BF/flange/register is 7.5mm

Thickness of the T2 Adapter for NX mount is 29.5mm !

it's useful to know : many web sellers show 9.54mm T2 adapters for NX

/!\ these are Pentax K T2 adapters : these two brands have shared the same K mount !

The register distance of the NX mount is 25,5mm, in theory the NX-M register should be 25,5mm minus the depth of the adapter. There seems to be no information available on this. The specs on Samsungs website can't be used as it is the overall depth, the protrusion of the tripod mount included

Cheers
