Hi, a few days ago I bought NX100 for a great price and an adapter for canon FD lenses. Finally I'm able to use those great lenses on digital! You can see some samples below. First is 50mm f1.2, the rest is 85mm f1.2 L. Settings f1.2 is a little soft but on these small pictures it doesn't matter. From f2 are both lenses perfectly sharp! the last one is just a proof that it can focus on infinity!

I really like #3, it looks like a painting.

FD lenses are great, not only the f/1.2L lenses but also the cheaper ones. I had the 35/2 and 85/1.8 and loved them on my NX10. The FD new lenses are solid and incredibly well built.

I too use FD lenses with my nx100. But, Ive got a FL 35 f2.5 which I love but it will not fit onto the FD adapter because of a bulge in the back of the lens.....shame.......otherwise???

There are at least two different FD adapters for the NX cameras. Mine came from Poland and is different from the usual ones sold on ebay. We can compare pictures of the adapters in this thread, and maybe figure out if they allow different lenses to mount.

I don't know. I have this one:

And I can use any FD lens I have. 35mm works, but I have f2 version.
