ttartisan, 7artisan, and other cheap manual lenses on the NX system

There are two factors to consider here :-

Firstly, the relatively large 25.5mm "back-focus" distance of the NX system … any lens that is being adapted will need to have been designed for a system with a greater distance than this, which leaves out Fujifilm X-mount, Sony E-mount, micro four-thirds, Canon EF-M and a few others.

Secondly, someone will have wanted/needed to manufacture an appropriate adaptor to suit.

I use a lot of "alternative-system" lenses on my NX cameras with adaptors, but they're all from older film cameras. The shortest back-focus is for the old L39 r/f lenses, the newest system is probably Canon EF, from the Eos cameras.

Rather a case of "if I wanted to go there I wouldn't start from here!"

Good luck

Ok, but how much does the Canon EOS 16m, F1.4 costs? Or a 50mm f1.2 EF lens? Or the sigma ART ones? And probably they don't have manual aperture rings...

I mean, the ttartisan 17mm f1.4 costs 150€, the 7artisan 30mm, f0.95 costs 250€, ythe 23mm costs 150€, and so on. On theother hand, you have the TTartisan 90mm f1.1, a bokeh monster, that costs 500€, new. All manual. TTartisan lenses are great, the focus ring it is smooth, and you have the manual aperture ring, etc... I have tried the 50mm f1,2, on a fyjifim camera and it is a joy to use. for the price of a canon lens, with such characteristcs, and since you cannot use it in auto, you can buy a Fujfilm's cheap body, such as the XT30, etc, and buy two or 3 of with these chinese lenses. As for micro 4/3 versions of these wide lenses, you have no advantage, because of the focal lenght conversions.

I just wish there was a way of fitting these cheap lenses into the NX system. They ere so creative, and well built.v Just imagine, 35mm at F0.95?

Is there any 16mm-20mm, f1.4 that we can addpat to the NX system, that is cheap, as these chinese lenses?

Thanks

Just buy a body to fit the lenses you're interested in and stop flogging a dead horse !

There is a solution for converting a specific lens, Samyang 7.5mm M4/3, to NX mount.
