There was a Tamron SP 70-210 f3.5 that is said to be
quite good (I don't know this lens from my own
experience though). It was made in the eighteens (long
after M42 was widespread) but it can be mounted to an
adapter to an M42 camera.
There was also a Tamron SP 80-200MM 2.8LD that mounts
via an adapter .
Enjoy

would be two or three good quality zoom lenses in
screw mount to cover the 28 (or 24 if I'm really
fortunate) to 300 or so zoom lenses. It wouldn't have
to be one of those 28-300 mega zooms like the tamron K
mount I've got. It could be two three or four even
lenses that together would cover that range.
Infrared markings would be nice too.
