It would be less painful to get an old M42 body, there were many made from the very lovely Pentax SVs to clunky East German Prakticas. Should be very cheap, maybe more than the adaptor. Plus that gonna be a heavy lens, it may pull the whole camera setup down so much at the front that it just tires you out.

Don't forget the Russian Zenits--SLRs with the M42 mount.
The problem with the M42 wide angles is they usually are of retrofocus design so the won't conflict with the mirror. This means there is a lot of hardware hanging off the front of an RF body.

Dominic - very nice. About the same price as an adaptor!
