Nice!

Thank you.

I have a couple of NX Mini's in my collection, I'll try a couple of lens mods. Funny thing about it is the lens detection is easily bypassed by shorting 2 pins in the mount.

Yes. Adapters for lenses in other mounts need to do that otherwise they cannot be used on the NX mini.

Of topic: I'm working on a hotshoe mount mod, do you think it's worth it to make a guide? It's required to the inbody flash lamp and some of its circuit and modify the plastic body a bit, I'm not really sure if it's really worth for everyone. I'm bringing this to your topic because I was imagining the macro possibilities using a ring flash with it. An easier workaround would be simply to use a photocell and fire the inbody flash, nevertheless, it's always nice to have more than one option, right?

Sorry but I almost never use flash so I guess I won't be of any help regarding this matter.

Cheers!

I think its really not worth to do it in a NX Mini, but I have a second body lying around so.. Why not right?

Still, I think its not very useful for NX Mini shooters, as it main intention is to be a... mini portable body... It kind defeats the purpose. But there are always some exceptions to every rule.

Have a nice weekend my friend!
