Re: SD Quattro / M42 adapter?

Thanks for posting the image -- do you by chance know which M42 adapter is used on the camera in the picture? More generally, has anyone in this forum found a high-quality M42 adapter that won't ruin the lens or Sigma mount?

I have two of these and they work well with my SD15 and sdQ.

However, my testing with the sdQ with a few m42 lenses resulted in dramatic underexposure as the lens is stopped down. I do not have this with my SD15 so I'm not sure what is different about them. See here for my experiences.
