Originally posted by JeffJS Ever since I had a Generic get stuck on my K10d, I've used nothing but Genuine.

Maybe that's just me though.
i kind of look at it the other way...most of my M42 lenses were $10-$25. Please tell my why i would spend $20 for a lens and $39 for the M42 adapter to fit it. I have about 15 screwmount lenses and 15 adapters, that could get ridiculous.
I understand another way to utilize the adapter is to have just one, but if you change between K-mount and screwmount lenses frequently in the field, this gets old very fast, as it becomes a multi-step process.
just a couple cents worth of counterpoint.
