Dear Luca,
 
I’ve received the parcel. NXL-0055 is awesome. Incredible conversion factor on top of super optics. It looks like NXL-Optics is better than Metabone Speed Boosters)) I tried many original Metabones when i was m43 user, but finally quit from them.
 
I have two manual Samyang lenses: 24mm/1.4 and 16mm/2.0
Both get a new live with NXL… 16mm/2.0 becomes close to 11mm))
 
Well done, Man!
 
Keep Going.

Settings are almost by default, the only DR profile is active, WB auto, sharp, contrast, etc.. by default. NX1 is a real pleasure to work with picture-wise.
the light is inexpensive Amoran led.

Dear Luca,
I just contributed to you 429eur at  https://www.produzionidalbasso.com/project/samsung-nx-camera-to-full-frame-with-nxl-adapter/
 
My number is 14. You still have 6 days to go.
I appreciate your comment on timing and shipment.
Thanks.

I confirm. Crop factor it's x 1.1
 

PS: I'm against to have ANY variable ND filter inside because: 
1. We need a WideOpen aperture in a LowLight conditions first. 
2. All variable ND filters (and also Non variable grey filters)  i purchased (some were very expensive) ALL WEAKEN the final image. At least you are about to loose Great Colours and WB from NX1. This lesson i've learned after spent a lot of money on usless glass of this kind.

Dear lucabutera,
I do appreciate the amount of work you've done, and decided to share with you my experience with speed boosters in order to prevent you from possible future poor sales.
 
I tried a lot of Metabones. The most important part of any SpeedBooster is how well it performs when a lens set to WideOpen aperture. In two words, all Metabones work acceptable. Some have better Chromatic Aberrations and Sharpness, some performs weaker in this regard.
Also there are number of China adapters on the market, calls Novoflex (if i'm correct with the brand). They call the product NOT a SpeedBooster, but a FocalReducer. They instruct users to Stop Down attached lenses a lot (at least at F5.6-F8.0) in order to get acceptable sharp image.
 
From my experience, i would never purchase a FocalReducer. We all need WideOpen aperture. And adapter should NOT weaken lens performance when the lens set to WideOpen aperture. That is why we use big lenses and heavy systems. We need Look, Fast apertures + Clear and Sharp images.
 
I decided to share my experience with you, because it could be unfair if your sales will be lost after such a tremendous amount of work you've done.
All the best.

Just a test in low light with Canon 50mm 1.8 II.
The crop, the dof, the bokeh and the flare it's very cinematic and very nice look. I tested with M42 and Exakta lenses, this lens work perfectly. 
(Excuse me, the color grading is fast and no perfect).
