Hey all -

I know this is probably beaten to death but I need to pick up a (hopefully cheap) adapter to run an M42 Super Takumar 50mm 1.4 I just bought on my camera. I understand that when focused to infinity the mirror might hit on my 5DII so I might make a spacer but for the time being I will use it on my 7D. What adapter is recommended?

Thanks!

I've seen complaints about thickness being too thin and such - was just figuring there was a "get this one" out there, maybe not.
