M42 lens on the way, I have the OEM M42/K-mount adapter.... anything I should know or be aware of aside from what I've read in the manual lens/M42 article?
If you're getting the OEM adapter, you should be good. I have two, and they both install and uninstall effortlessly. Actually I just leave them there most of the time, since they are "dedicated" bodies, more or less. (*ist D and K10D) Be aware that some m42 lenses, esp the smaller ones (like my Industar 50-2) will leave the lens mount partially exposed. This hasn't posed a problem for me. Have fun, and see you in the Takumar Club soon!
