Some quick NX Mini questions...

Re: Some quick NX Mini questions...

That's somewhat high price. A year ago I bought NX mini, 9mm lens, 9-27mm lens, external flash with case, half camera case/strap, 16gb card, and box for 215-225$.

It's a solid camera for 1" sensor but as it only has 3 lenses(1 of which is tough to find) and smart adapter is hard to find and expensive to NX samsung lenses, I would see what else is out there.

I bought a dumb adapter on ebay for 36$ to use C lenses but quality is hit and miss. It does allow you to use lenses like Angenieux or Navitar 25mm/0.95 on it. I have gotten some solid pictures with a double adapter like NX mini to C and C to Nikon F. There's a 2.7x crop factor to focal length and depth of field but a lens like 50mm/1.4 non-AI/AI lens produces sharp pictures.

Image quality is close to many MFT however you're investing in a dead system. I have both this and Nikon 1 J5 and this has better image quality unfortunately you can't use the flash with dumb adapters.

This one was with Navitar 25mm/0.95

These were done with double adapter and Nikon 50/1.4 lens. First one had 3 C extender rings.
