Hi Bob, Yes, I already have the K to M42 adapter on the K1000. I've been using some Kodak Retina IIIs lenses with a Deckel to M42 adapter stacked on the K to M42...
I need a pointer to a "good" one. Meaning an M39 that has the proper (weird) Leica pitch and that is made of something other than cheap plastic or sticky aluminum. Or better yet, if there is such an animal as a LTM lens directly to K adapter...
