Thank you Hike, I hadn't thought about adapters! That opens up a whole new avenue of opportunity if I can mount my PK and PK(A) pancakes primes. They wouldn't be so pancakey with the adapter added, I know, but it'd be a good way of trying out and getting used to an NX body without immediately having to buy a new lens collection. Hmmmm...

Lenses from Leica screw, Fed, Zorki and other rangefinder cameras are smaller, variously descibed as LTM, L39 or M39, as are the adapters... Standard lenses such as the Jupiter 8 50mm f/2 are also inexpensive. The industar-69 28mm f/2.8 half frame lens needs a simple tweak but should work, and is very compact.

Exactly the reason I bought my NX5 … my "retired" range of Russian r/f lenses have a new lease of life. The 85mm f/2 Jupiter-9 continues to deliver and the Industar-69 makes the camera quite pocketable, though it does benefit from a lens hood Pity the 35mm Jupiter-12 and the 20mm Russar MP-2 wouldn't fit (rear element too large) … can't have everything!
