Nicely written Adam!
I've just come across a Super Tak 35mm f3.5 with the adapter and having a grand time with it. You might like to add the convenience of using m42 lenses with the camera in Aperture mode! One of the advantages of the m42 adapter is there is NO communication between camera and lens. This allows you to use the camera in Aperture mode, and the camera will set the shutter speed automatically. Of course it is your responsibility to make sure your lens is set to manual mode... I set the lens to auto mode to focus in full open aperture, then move to manual mode to stop down to my selected aperture. The camera's metering will choose the correct shutter speed.
Saves having to press the green button with the camera in manual mode...
