Agreed.
Second choice: Fujica 705 & 801 (brighter finder and silicium meter).
Also good.
But way ahead is... Canon T90 used with SMC Takumar lenses, each with the proper Canon adapter. Multi-spot metering, flash spot metering, 8 images per second, etc...
No, because parts are not available. Most T90 cameras are starting to show darkening of the LCD by now and there are no replacement parts. The T90 was the test platform for the shutter and many other subsystems used in the EOS cameras, and all were improved for that series.
If the original poster wants a brand new M42 camera, the Voigtländer Bessaflex is available (www.cameraquest.com). I know several people who have bought them and really like them.
