samsung DLSR support NX lens?

i'm new in samsung camera with NX1000 mirror less, and before buying more lens i would like to clear my mind on what are they supported from?

i searched for dslr samsung camera and found GX-20, if i buy some lens for my NX1000 could i use them on DLSR camera body or the use different lenses?

the GX20 is basically a Pentax K20 and uses a different Mount type. Using a P-K Adapter  would allow to use them but there is no electrical contact hence no AF and limited metering capabilites (A/M works)

ok so if i buy NX lents i need to use them manualy on DLSR

if i buy or use DLSR lenses (Nikon, Pentax...) on NX i get them manually

thanks

meanwhile i decide to buy NX 50-300mm, that i read is an ok lens...

actually my nikon lend are quite old and are AF without stabilization, searching on ebay they don't seem to have a great value

my nikons lens:

- AF 24mm f 2.8 is a good lens but i would like something wider like NX 16mm

- AF 50mm f 1.8 good one but i'm pretty lazy and don't really use it

- AF 35-70mm f 2.8 my favorite lens, is also macro

- AF 70-210mm f 4 (not sure) i don't really like it, no stabilization and not even sharp

actually i read good review about NX 16mm

but for other lens, and a macro i may buy a nikon adapter

The Samsung GX20 and Pentax K20D are nearly 6 years old now; ancient by digital camera standards. If you are buying something today I would look at NX system and give the GX system a pass. The NX system is completely unrelated to old GX system as others have mentioned. If you are interested in a DSLR system look at Pentax/Canon/Nikon/Sony/etc.

If you do buy a GX camera, look at what Pentax-Ricoh offer for K mount and it will be compatible. So if you found a really good deal on a GX20 you could always "grow" into a Pentax K mount later. GX is dead as far as Samsung is concerned.

As for the Pentax K (Samsung GX) to NX adapter, this is really only a good idea if you already have older Pentax K mount lenses you want to be able to use on the new camera, but in almost every case you would be better using the new lens.  For example the old Pentax 12-24mm f/4 is fine, but the Samsung NX 12-24mm f/4-5.6 is a bit better or at least similar optical performance, smaller, cheaper, etc.  So there wouldn't be much reason to get the old lens if you didn't already have it just to use on the new camera.  Same is true with 18-55, 50-200mm, etc.

I'm worried that in a few years Samsung will abandon NX cameras and I find myself with NX optics unusable.

Don't worry your optics wont disappear nowhere nor your NX camera wont take worse photos if Samsung decides one day to abandon NX cameras.

That's true but if samsung will abandon nx my lens without a body will be useless

Well, a nx300, which is a great camera today, won't disappear in the future nore become a bad camera, just because other newer models will come out in the meanwhile...

Of clurse I hope samsung will be committed to nx for the time being, but in any case it'll remain a very good and quite complete system for many years.
