Hi Yorik,
I have home machined various adaptors including a PK adaptor for my -M lenses but I rarely use it because for my use the M43 best range is 9 ~ 28mm.
Here are some of the lenses I tried but don't use often on M43

It works OK with the 18 ~ 55mm kit lens (the one with manual focus ring). I fix the lens at about f/6.3 with heatshrink on the stop down lever.

I have an adaptor for Pentax 110 lenses and use the tiny P 110 18mm lens mostly.

It makes a neat camera that is not fussy about focus due to the very wide dof, so anybody, even kids can get reasonable shots
Here is a typical photo with the Pentax 110 18mm showing the wide dof
