lucabutera Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 First video: "Samsung NX100 + Speed Booster prototype". For my test, I use the Samsung NX100 camera with Nikon Nikkor 50mm f1.4. Geoff CB, tokhee, IronFilm and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible. In the nex time I post my full work on it, and begginning the test on NX1 camera. iamoui, Liam, kidzrevil and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pavel Mašek Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I always thought that Speedbooster for NX mount should be possible becuase Samyang 12mm NX exists. In theory - it is one lens specialized only to mirrorless system which is be adapted to Sony FE, Fuji, Panasonic, etc. and also to NX mount. Difference between mounts is in flange distance. NX flange distance is probably the longest between all mirrorless systems and that was reason why Metabones thought that it is not possible to create speedbooster for NX mount. However Samyang 12mm NX (according my opinion) is proof that it is possible to built optical system wich will work across multiple mirrorless mounts. Why it should not be possible for Speedbooster? Speedbooster for NX mount would be great... I am keen for more information. I think we can forgot on inteligent adapter but Speedbooster (even manual) would be great!!

Second one is also brighter (there is more light that comes to sensor) with same shutter speed 1/60s (and probably same aperture). Image quality seems to be also good enough. Fullframe NX1!!! YES!!!

Sorry, I do not have electronic knowledge to build smart adapter. But I think that, in the future something like Aputure Dec or similar is possible. 2 hours ago, kidzrevil said: Kickstarter anyone ? Hi Kidzrevil, first of all, I thank you because you have put together a Samsung camera enthusiasts. I soon, when I'm done with my testing, I will begin a Kickstarter for the construction of the Speed Boster NX. At this time it is premature.

I got it from focal reducer lens system on the market, but I could not install it on an existing adapter, if it was that simple, they would have done! I had to build a tool for finding the correct position of the lens (focal distance flnge), I also had to make changes to the lens and body NX100 camera. My first experiment was only to see if it would work. The second step was to understand if no changes to the body it would work. This is another success, the spaces are tight but it works perfectly. I started the third step now, the SB Adapter construction for Samsung NX1! (Work on Nikon lenses because I can manually adjust the aperture, but I tested it also with M42 lenses, and with bayonet mount). shanebrutal, Parker, Liam and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Tecno Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Very interesting, Luca. You should get in touch with ihkim (mentioned above) for building an intelligent speedbooster for nx, together. lucabutera and Kisaha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMGJohn Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Did anyone try to recontact Metabones or Fotodiox with this new discovery? I know Fotodiox has done a lot of high quality dumb adapters for the NX mount. Geoff CB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Tecno Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I contacted novoflex recently. They were not interested, due to samsung quitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucabutera Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Before I embark on this adventure, I have asked all the manufacturers of photographic adapters in the world. Metabones he said he was not interested, so I asked what the problem was, but they replied: "No. Unfortunately, it is not possible to fit the optics inside the Samsung NX mount flange distance owing to interference and physical issues". I later contacted Mitakon but did not respond, so I tried with private constructor, it has tried so many tests, but failed, successively I contacted two other manufacturers of adapters, initially they said they would try, then I have never responded. So, disheartened, I resigned myself for a long time ... This, until, was born "Samsung NX Hack" it to rekindled my enthusiasm and so I decided to resume my project and I try with my knowledge of mechanical engineering, and today are well advanced. No one is interested in producing an adapter for an off-market camera. Only passion and love for the NX system can give us the strength to work on it. I thank all those who do not abandon this camera and I hope one day we can do a Samsung NX1, 6k Raw, Full Frame with Smart Adapter. by necessity, born virtues.
