Now, I am thinking of getting one of the new breed of CSC cameras, yet have an adapter to use some of my K-mount lenses.
Now each of the CSC systems have an adapter for a whole range of mounts, but manual only (so DA lenses are out, you need an aperture ring)
However, one of the makes does have an adapter for the K-mount, namely the Samsung.
So, does the Samsung adapter give you ability to control the aperture or not? I only ask, as they "say" that you can use GX lenses (read DA lenses) on the NX, so that would imply full control.
Finally, before you ask, why do I want a CSC camera? When I travel on city breaks for example I want to travel light, and at times a DSLR is too bulky, yet want the IQ and control of a DSLR which those pro compacts won't give me.
Anyway, will the NX-GX adapter give me full control or not? If not, then I might consider the Sony NEX instead. (shock, horror, a SONY!!!!)
