No, they don't work? But they do exist, right. I bought this one. Should I cancel my order?

i want to adapt micro 4/3 lenses on Samsung NX bodies...

Thanks

That adapter is for using M42 screw lenses from older film SLR cameras such as Pentax and Praktica. It won't work with Micro Four Thirds lenses, and there is no suitable adapter as far as I'm aware.

Many other fittings are adaptable to Samsung NX, but not any mirrorless types (like the one you linked to), or Leica M. You can get adapters for some Leica Screw (often called LTM or M39) and most lenses for manual focus film SLRs, though.
