Marco Tecno Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 An idea came to my mind. There are more and more companies designing EF to [other systems] intelligent adapters, but none designing one for NX. This is apparently due to samsung discontinuing its products. At least that's what a couple of those companies replied to me, when I asked about a future product designed for NX. That's the idea: would it be possible to ask them "how much" would it cost to develop and produce such an adapter, and try to fund it ourself, via a crowfunding campaign? Personally, I'd be ready to buy one, as long as it costs as much as the ones for - say - sony F cameras. What about you?

andre2you Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I would jump on board....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavel Mašek Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I think we can ask them at least... and then it will depend if we will receive answer and what would be the the cost of the developement. Question is if there are enough users to cover these costs... I am definitely with you as I miss good IS in cheap Samsung lenses... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 As cool as it would be to be able to use some of my canon glass for stills and such, the only thing I really care about is rudimentary aperture control. I wouldn't really care at all if autofocus was lousy/unreliable, I just want some form of electronic communication between body and lens and I would be very happy!

SR Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I'm with you. Aperture control alone would mean the biggest difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMGJohn Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 and Nikon F, I would pay half my soul for one, it would make the camera have a very long life with these adapters. Marco Tecno and vaga 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tugela Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Somehow I don't think that you will get much in the way of funding from crows..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Galli Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 what about a speedboster to ef lens? i know there is a problem with the nx mount, but i dont think its impossible, i would crush my nx500 body to fit a speedboster if its necesary lol.

Meta bones it not going to be redesigning their optics to fit the NX mount. http://www.metabones.com/article/of/faq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tugela Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 What we need is an electronic adapter that will pass signal through. Is suspect that it is not so simple in the case of NX though. I would guess that most of the mainstream lenses, such as Canon and Nikon ones, have dumb electronics and it would be just a simple signal passthrough. The NX lenses may be partially intelligent and operate off codes sent to/from the camera rather than just a signal. That would represent a fundamental system incompatibility and make an electronic adapter considerably more expensive to produce.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
