Do you know if the inverse is true? I.e. do MFT lenses fit on Samsung NX? I'm thinking about that manual Samyang/Rokinon 12mm F/2 that's available both for MFT and NX (it's a lot cheaper if you buy the MFT version).

Technically, yes. However they only fit upside down, don't lock into place and are limited to close focusing. Also, you will need to bypass the "No Lens" error.

If you find a cheap Samyang/Rokinon lens for NX, you can try swapping its mount onto your desired lens. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4157183

Very interesting, thanks.  Probably not worth it to save $80 on the 12mm, but good to know for future reference!
