Hi Aguspram,
I haven't used this particular combination, but I use my Pentax M and A lens on the LUMIX gx8 with adapter. The image quality is good.

It will work fine with a m42 adapter. Here is a video made by me that will answer your question and give you some tips.

hummmmm... I can do this with my XT1, but I haven't tried yet, using only my FA Limited. they work well enough.

I've only used my Asahi SMC Takumar 50mm F/1.4 on a Pentax K3 which I no longer have. I have a Fujifilm XE-2 on the way which I'll use a M42 to Fuji X adapter to put all my M42 screwmount lenses on (I have 4). I also have an older manual focus Nikon F mount lens which I'll be able to use with an adapter on the X-E2. Here's a link to inexpensive yet well made (all metal) adapters, K&F Concept: Professional Photography Accessories Brand.

Thank you very much. Interesting review and finnaly I bought this lens Super Takumar 50mmF1.4 (8 elements). The quality image is very good tone and sharp. I satisfied this lens. No problem shoting in low light (bedroom) but the best image is at F2.8. If I shotoutdoor, the best image at F4. Here are sample of images.

Very nice! I recommend looking at some older classic Nikon glass too. I have adapted all of my Taks to my X-E2 as well as a Yashica Auto Yashinon and a Nikon 200mm F4. That Nikon is tack sharp and renders color beautifully.

Back in 2013 I purchased a M42-XF adapter to try my 28/35/50mm Taks on XP1. My 50/1.4 is the SMC Takumar, however, and I never used it on the XP1 shown in the picture below due to the copped sensor new focal length. You may find getting the 28mm and 35mm more useful. I don't have the XP1 anymore. But have fun with your new gear!

I still use the 50/1.4 on my D810 with a plain M42 adapter as a macro lens for fun gear pictures like the following:
