Which m42 screw thread lens??

I now have a T-mount for the camera and I am looking forward to using some screw thread, M42, lenses. I have no idea which lenses are most sought after and which I should leave alone. Any pointers anyone? Thanks.:) .

As long as you get one that sits flush with the camera and doesn't have a flange you'll be OK. Genuine Pentax ones can be got from ebay for less than SRS but I got bored being outbid at the last moment so I ended up buying one last time I was at SRS.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
