Hi,

Can I adapt micro 4/3 lenses on Samsung bodies, through an adapter such as this one?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Adapter-passt-zu-4-3-Standard-FT-Objektiv-an-Samsung-NX-Anschluss-Kamera/263207500358

Is there any drawbacks?

Is M4/3 the same as 4/3?

I was trying to adapt a TTartisan lens, micro 4/3 to an NX camera...

This one:

No!

4/3 and Micro 4/3 have different mounts and different registration distances. The "four-thirds" part of the name refers to the sensor in the cameras, not the mechanical mount.
