Vintage Lens Photography with the Samsung NX1

While researching mirrorless digital cameras, I was drawn into the Samsung NX1's orbit by the camera's fresh digital interface; intuitive operational modes; lens adaption possibilities; interval recording and impressive filmic motion imaging. Importantly, many photographer's reviews said the NX1 was a joy to shoot with. This blog will document my intention to become a better 'still' photographer; but the NX1's primary function for me will be digital-film imaging. Feel free to comment.

Promaster Spectrum 7 100-300mm f/5.6-6.7

The Promaster Spectrum 7 100-300mm f/5.6-6.7 MC Tele Macro is a telephoto zoom lens for 35 mm SLR cameras. The one I own has a Pentax K-mount and was mounted to my Samsung NX1 using a Fotasay adapter.

Given a 1.5 crop factor for the NX1's mirrorless system, that makes this lens a 450mm equivalent. Let's see how the lens performs from the photos below.
