Hello, new user here and pretty much new to the digital photography world. I own a NX300 camera, and I have some Pentax K mount lenses (remains of an old pentax film camera I had). I wanted to know if there is an adapter to use these lenses on my NX300, I understand that I would have to use them manually but is the above possible?

I am not sure if to adapt a different lens to my camera the lens need to be from an APS-C camera. In general, with the use of an adapter, what kind of lenses can be used with the NX300? FDor instance, lenses of older 35mm film cameras? Regarding digital cameras, can I use a micro 4/3 lens on an APS-C, with the use of an adapter?

Thank you!

Yes, I have MF Auto Revuenon 50 1.4 PK and I have used it on NX300/500 with adapter. You can use many of the old 35mm manual lenses.

The only problem I had was not that good adapter that was not pushing the camera pin and the camera reports "No lens attached".
