Just two or three, on the edge there, so it's not a big deal for me to do it more than once. 

Hi Carlic, certainly, what kind of picture you would like I posted?

@sidi
If someone made a feature film that would go on the cinemas around the world and they used a Samsung NX1 to make it all, Samsung would open their greedy eyes, hopefully.
But until then, lucabutera and many other have contributed greatly after they completely closed their camera section probably sold it off to the North Koreans for all we know.
This reminds me when the Sega Dreamcast was tossed aside by Sega for no reasons, sure it had low sales just like NX1 but the fans were the special kind, the kind of fans you simply just do not get when you sell cheap toasters, no these fans they keep the device alive for years to come on their own because they like it that much, that is the very testimony to a WELL designed, WELL built, and WELL engineered piece of electronics device.
This actually reminds of the Soviets, when the freaking Lada design would still be made well into the 90s, it just worked that well, we still had them on our roads when I was small competing against modern Volvo's and Toyota's.

Hi Sidi, thanks for your advice but this would be the good news, "Samsung finds interest in the NX system after months of silence!
They sue me for similar mark, and I sue them for selling me a new camera and closed production after six months!!!!!

@lucabutera
Thanks for the hard work Luca, I will buy one when I can afford it, hopefully it still on sale until then, I intend to keep this camera with me, I like things that works very well and I use them until they fall apart from age, your adapter will help me adapt future lenses to it.
I look forward to an electronic adapter, that would be Christmas

Hello everyone, sorry for my absence but these days I had to work commitments.
I will try to suit guests Dere to the most important questions.
Thanks ttbek from you technical advice but just me right now I can state with certainty the stop difference. It is very close to -1 stop, (soon I will make a test to evaluate this feature).
As for sharpness, the raw test that I posted, it is fammo first with normal lens, the picture later with adapter took too much light and reflection of white table has over illuminated the scene distorting the result and sharpness. Place another file shot with Canon 50mm f1.8 a photo taken on a wall in broad daylight.

Hello Kidzrevil, usually you have a good eye, in fact, have you noticed that the crop is less than NXL can do,  but you have not thought to stabilize images in Premiere the picture is cropped! The original file has larger frame.
Meanwhile'm excited to have received your new NXL. I love it!!! They are almost ready. I ask only a little patience. Bye!

Sharpness: -10
Contrast: -5

I have never seen any problem with 4K and UHD.
With 1080p, you can try mounting the resolution on 4K or UHD (depending what FPS you need), and see if that helps.
ex: nx-ks menu > Custom Func. > Mod Resolutions > UHD as 1080p

Samsung nx100 + NX/EF SB + CANON 50MM 1.8 II
I CAN DO IT!

It's a good idea.

First 10 NXL adapter, before the matt black anodizing
 

No hack. it's only Samsung NX1 with NXL and Canon 50mm 1.8

The real "deal" would be an intelligent "canon lens to NX body" adapter (non speedbooster), with a good AF speed, for a price comparable to that of Metabones (which is 399$, about 350€). I'd buy one at day ZERO.
 
Of course, the choice of having an intelligent speedbooster for canon lenses at a higher price would also be welcome, but I wouldn't probably buy it, since I'm more a still shooter after all, and the APS-c crop is nice for the kind of lenses I'd like to use on my NX1 (mainly 300mm and up).

Correct. Those adapters are super cheap too. I already bought all of mine in anticipation of receiving my NX-L. I got a C/Y to EF, Nikon to EF, and M42 to EF, don't think I spent more than $30 for all three. Of course there's still no way to control the aperture of any lens electronically, since it's a dumb adapter, there are no electronics. Hence the need to raise money to try and develop one that does have this feature in the future.
