Samsung NX20

Hello, I recently bought used Samsung NX20 body. I am hesitating about buying lenses. There are very few original lenses available and all of them are pricey. On the other hand, many Nikkor glasses around. What would you suggest, should I go for original Samsung lenses or getting an adapter and purchasing other glass. I got Canon M series camera, but think as the sensor is smaller, ef-m lenses will not work with NX camera.

I don't think the NX20 has focus peaking … if not you may struggle a little working with 3rd-party lenses on an adaptor, as they'll all be manual focus. If you do decide to get an adaptor, make sure either the lenses you want to use have an aperture ring or the adaptor has facility for adjusting the aperture. If not, you'll be working wide open, which is exactly where you need focus-peaking most!

Possibly one of the reasons that Samsung lenses are so expensive may be because a lot of the "kit" lenses were supplied with a plastic mount, which breaks easily, thereby making the more "sophisticated" lenses with a metal mount more desirable, as they're the only option if anyone wants auto-focus.

One advantage of Nikkor (and many other manual focus) lenses is that you could use them on both your Samsung NX and Canon EOS M cameras, with suitable adapters...
