I have had a meyer optik görlitz 400 mm 5,5 lying about for years.  It has a M42 screw.  What adaptors/converters are around?  Where do i buy them?

Do any of you have used any of these?  What are your experience?

I've used several other novo flex adapters and they are of very good quality. Novoflex used to be (is?) a supplier for Leica so their stuff is up to Leica standard. Fotodiox, I've never used myself, but should be totally ok for the price according to many others. If you are prepared to pay for it Novoflex will definitely be the "best" solution. But if you only want to test/play with the lens I would go for Fotodiox.

you don't need to spend much money on an M42 to Leica m mount adaptor. I got an all metal one from ebay for less than $12 and it works fine- there is nothing to these things really.
