Patterned after 4/3s cameras but with twice the sensor size as in APS-2 the
SAMSUNG?S NX seems like a nifty way to get your Leica R glass going.

The adaptors are made in Germany by Novoflex

Will also get Sony Alpha, Pentax K or Olympus OM glass going.
And Nikon f with aperture control ring like in its Micro Four Thirds to
Nikon F adapter.
I find this exciting.
To me a compact camrea is an APS-2 format which is a few millimeters away
from half frame which is 18x24.
4/3's format is half that which to me is just taking it unnecessarily far if
the cameras are going to be as big as the APS-2 cameras. At least for this
day and age. 
And for glass designed for full frame.
