So legacy isn't easy if you're looking for a comparatively wide angle lens... Some of the newer manual focus lenses available in X mount such as those from Samyang/Rokinon are well worth considering but you won't get them for legacy M42 money.....

+1 to this.  The latest manual focus offerings from China are amazingly good for the price, and many of them are short FL. You might get a bargain price on one from FleaBay if you do some searching.
