That won't work. M42 yes, but Nikon F to PK adapters have to contain optics to be able to reach infinity focus. You don't want that. Same for Sony A, as it's flange distance is less than Pentax K.

Thanks for pointing that out. That’s only a nice to have - all my important lenses (zeiss primes) will be nikon mount zf.2s but I am mainly shooting them on my S1R. As my subjects are rarely more than 3 metres away, I wonder if i would get away with using a dumb adapter with the zeiss  primes.

Thanks again
