Hey Hans,

ive been using the NX system wif legacy lenses since the NX10 years ago... i love the combo, NX is great for them! 1.5x crop is really useful too... a ton of them are 45-55mm and will end up almost perfect 75-80mm portrait / street lens

till date ive got carl zeiss jena 35/2.4 which is amazing for macro somehow, a number of russian lenses including industar 50/3.5 collapsible, jupiter-8 50/2, helios 44-2, the classic asahi pentax 50/1.4 & 55/1.8, some great fujinons, minolta MD rokkor in 50/1.4, 45/2 which i love so much, couple canons too 35/2 and the legendary 50/1.4

heres my album of some of the nx cams with the lenses attached

How are you doing this? I can't really get my NX1000 out of Smart Auto! I can but once I have a legacy lens such as an M42 or a Lieca screw mount ,the camera won't work. It only seems to like the mediocre plasticity 20-50 lens that it came with in autofocus. Thinking of developer mode as a last resort, or just putting the camera aside and forgetting it. I've come close to smashing it in a fit of rage. Uncomfortable selling a camera that doesn't work
