Is there a particular source anyone would recommend for buying a m42 adapter?
If you prefer to use manual metering or aperture priority, then you don't have to go to M42 lenses. You can just get either K or M lenses. Both are of K-mount, ie you don't need an adaptor to use them, and both require you to be in M mode for manual metering.
