Thank you, thoroughly understood.
I purchased the NX1, 16-50 OIS S, battery grip bundle in 2015 (on sale) while Samsung was showcasing their 300mm f/2.8 OIS S Prime at trade shows.
I only own Samsung bodies (NX500, NX1).

Have you (anyone) ever attached a high-quality super-telephoto Film Lens to an NX1 or NX500 Body; for example, a Canon nFD mount lens e.g. 300mm f/2.8 L or a Nikon high-quality equivalent. Plenty of Film Mount adapters to NX and as we know every simple 'to NX adapter is dumb' excluding Samsung's NX-M.

I haven't. The only FD lens I own is of "normal" focal length and it performs admirably on my Sony full-frame. The specific Canon lens you mentioned would likely produce very impressive results when paired with a Samsung body, but it's not at all lightweight.
