Which Canon FD(n) to NX adapter for the Galaxy NX?

I've got the FotodioX Pro FD(n) to NX adapter which works with my NX100.

However, it does not work with my Galaxy NX.

Which FD(n) to NX adapter works with both? I would like to avoid modifications to the adapter or glueing down the pin on the camera body. (I realize there is no menu item to enable "shoot without a lens" which is a pity).

Don't glue the camera, glue something to the adapter end so that it can press down the pin probably.

It's a problem with the manufacturing tolerances and seems to be an issue for ALL adapters FD to NX, just luck of the draw. Mine for FD was nice and snug without modification, but for my EF adapter I solved it by taking some good pliers and bending the relevant section so that it would depress the pin. As the other poster said, glue on that area would also work, anything to push down that pin without harming your camera really.

I tried that brand for a Nikon NX adapter and it didn't work. Exchanged it for another and it didn't work either. Bought a Fotasy; it worked. Bought a second Fotasy just in case and it worked too. Think I'm sticking with Fotasy.

The Fotasy adapter engages the pin.

However, I'm not able to use manual focus assist as I expected.

On the NX100 under Menu(2nd tab)>MFAssist>Enlarge is set, but turning the focus ring has no effect.

On the Galaxy NX turning the focus ring has no effect, I have to click the small icon MF+/- next to the Mode soft-dial on the screen to get the assist. Pressing the shutter button takes it out of focus assist, though.

Is there a way to setup both cameras as to just turning the focus ring on the lens to put them in focus assist?

No. Activating focus assist at the turn of the focus ring requires communication from lens to camera. Non-Samsung lenses don't have the required electronics so it's not possible to activate it without tellng the camera you want it. On the plus side, the Galaxy NX has focus peaking on all the time, even with non-Samsung lenses.

Huh, I didn't know it stays on all the time with that one. On the other NX cameras the focus peaking and magnification are activated with the 'ok' button and turn off after each shot.
