EOS to M42 adapters

[The Big Kahuna]

Can anyone recommend a decent one ? There are shed loads of Zeiss and Pentacons out there for silly (less than £30) money, and I just happen to have some silly money doing nothing.

What do they do / free bump

Lets you fit an M42 (42mm screw thread) lens onto your Canon/Nikon/whatever.
Been looking at a 120mm f2.8 Pentacon on Fleabay for £ 107. Now that is a super-sexy piece of gear. L-Glass quality if you're prepared to focus manually (and only lazy people don't ). 190mm (ish, on my 350D) f2.8 for just over a hundred nicker, tell me that aint sex

£107? Ouch...I paid about £4.50 for my Pentacon 135 f2.8. Is the 120 meant to be good?

anyone used any of the AF confirm adapters?

most them look like a normal adapter with a chip stuck to it. are there any that are half decently made?

got a few M42 lenses now, love using them, solid quality feel of pure metal. latest bargin Hanimax 300mm F4 for £16!!!
