I have never seen or able to find a Samsung NX mount to M4/3 mount.

Anyone know if it ever get manufactured?

Probably not!

Primarily because the Samsung lenses, like so many modern lenses, are "fly-by-wire", with an electronically-controlled aperture and indeed focusing arrangement, making them unadjustable when not on a Samsung camera.

If the lens(es) you're hoping to adapt is one of the fully manual aftermarket lenses, you might be able to make something up using a Samsung rear lens cap or lens-mount from a defunct body glued onto an M4/3 body cap, with appropriate spacers in between to get the focussing correct, else you may be able to mount your Samsung lens within something like an M42-M4/3, again with appropriate packing and/or spacing, but you'd need to check your clearances before you start.

In the case of an after-market manual lens, it may be worth contacting the manufacturer to see if they could change the mount for you, assuming the lens is/was also produced in M4/3 mount.

All in all it just may be easier and cheaper to buy a Samsung camera, if the lens is really worth using!

Good luck
