If you want class, you can buy a Novaflex for $158. If you value your money, Fotodiox has M42 to Fuji X for $20, and M42 to Sony for $21. In my case, I have M42 to Olympus 4/3 from several years ago, and I go that route. My Pentax lenses were picked up at market prices when I was shooting film with a Spotmatic. I normally purchase Fotodiox adapters.
