in your Pentax days, did you ever use an M42 to K-mount adapter?
...and if you did, did you have any problems with the adapter sticking
on the body or with infinity focus?
i have a no-name adapter from ebay that i've used with my Macro-Takumar 50mm
with good results, including infinity focus; it is brass, not aluminum, and
fairly well machined (not fastidiously deburred); it came with a removal tool,
but i also removed the spring, which makes it easier to remove from the body,
and just snugged it on the lens and used care (a little temporary thread goo
like Godfrey suggests is a good idea if it will stay on a particular lens)
the one i got is still listed by user astwise at $12 but ships to US only
