Well, if there is no interest in adding a simple aperture coupler to an existing DSLR so pre-A lenses can be full functional, I doubt that anyone bothers to market such a M42 thing....
Oh, no, did I pronounce the forbidden words??? Splashhhh !!!

Man, I would die for a basic M42 DSLR at this point. All I would need on it was the M42 screw mount, basic stop down metering a shutter speed dial , a built in flash, and the little pad to activate the auto aperture M42 lens pin at moment of exposure. No need for AE or AF(obviously). Even 6-10Mp APS would be better than the nothing we have at this point. Anybody heard of any rumors of one yet? With the millions of great M42 lenses still out there in good working condition, it seems to me sooner or later somebody will step in and fill the need for this market. I know you can use M42 lenses (with manual modes on the lens) on Pentax and Canon DSLRS with adapters but the lack of auto aperture makes them way to cumbersome, and you cant use auto-only M42 lenses, hence the need for a true M42 mount DSLR.
