You wrote "Some use M42 lenses on Digital cameras, and they lose AF and auto exposure", and my point was precisely that you cannot lose that from lenses that never had it, and then you reply the same? But I might have missunderstood your original post since it was not made very clear.
And I don't think anything about what lenses you have, I just responded to what you wrote.
I try talk to you.
I answered this in post 5:
"-And if you now begin to think about adapters of some sort...yes such could be made, but they will add the missing ~15mm distance and then the camera will not be that thin any longer (which sort of kille the whole point), and you likely loose auto exposure and auto focus."
>Here you speak to/answers "redpigeons" then he wonder if he can use his DA lenses on Samsung NX, and you say that itīs no point for him to buy the camera because he miss the 15mm and donīt get "auto exposure and auto focus" with his lenses.
Now we most guess a little, he can have K10D and 2-3 DA lenses and then buy Samsung NX with kit lens and a adapter.
It has been extension Tubes for Pentax since many years that has electric info from the lens to camera or opposite so you get auto exposure and auto focus. So thy canīt a adapter(with a chip for translate) for K lenses to Samsung NX have it?
He can use his NX with the kit lens and in future more Samsung lenses then he is travelling or only need light pack. But then he is home or out and take photos in a forest or... Then this 15mm donīt have any signification. So with the NX and adapter he can use DA lenses as well as NX lenses.
And then i compare with some Pentax users that use KxxD and M42 lenses, they donīt have autofocus and auto exposure, and that is like going back allot in time. But the man we talk about only miss 15mm in size then he want it.
That is a big difference, is it so hard to understand?
