yes, it works. Lens I was referring to is M42 Porst 55mm f1.4, should be similar to other japanese 55's of that time. M42 is common mount, there's plenty of cheap stuff to find. Try to find the thread here on the forum, some adapters work fine, some need modification I mentioned before or they show "no lens" error when you try to shoot. Not a big deal to fix though.

Wow...this is like a whole new world to me. I'm definitely going to need to take sometime to absorb all this.  The cheaper route is ideal for me so I can dabble while i learn instead of spending thousands on lenses.  So the primary difference from todays lenses and the old school lenses is lack of AF and OIS?  Other than that, the optics are just as good?
