I have a NX300 and a NX3000.  I use both with MF lenses.

I prefer the NX300 as it has good magnification and strong focus peaking.

When you attach a MF lens you must switch the AF setting to MF to get the focus peaking.

My OIS lenses have a AF/MF switch that switches to MF mode automatically.

With dumb manual lens you must manually switch to MF.

I have had much success attaching older Minolta primes to my NX300.
