Be careful with 2nd party adapters. They often get stuck
on the camera and you can't remove the lens.
can have all kinds of extra springs, screws etc. which can jam
the lens.
See this thread....
"Adapter can get stuck on lens"
"This adapter is grouped with the cheap M42 adapters. However, this one has a screw which holds a flange onto the adapter. It's not easy to put in. However, I used it fine on my M42 200mm. Then I put in my M42 135mm. When I tried to unscrew it, the thing got stuck. In the end I had to cut it off. Major pain."
It is not made like the original Pentax adapter that I had and cannot find and was easy to get in and hard to get out. The 55mm Takumar lens would not screw into the adapter very well."
Also this site has a warning..

The genuine adapter is a lot better/safer and you always
get your money back when you sell on.

not much point now, because rechargeables are better in a flash
anyway. The Eneloops should work fine.

(K values) for exposure. Canikon being Pro probably
use a smaller value than Pentax, although I seem to
remember that it wasn't very high. The idea is that
they aim for the highest percentage of success based
on their users level of competence/incompetence.
i.e. Can they tell the difference between freshly
fallen snow and a black horse

work. It's just that fashion togs have brainwashed themselves into
thinking that someone who's nose is half as long as it should be
is the norm.
In fact my favourite photographer of all time (Jay Maisel) shot to
fame doing flat 400-600mm shots of bridges for the covers of
Life, Time etc. I bought a few of his books which contained a lot
of flat shots.
