I recently bought at Ebay a Helios 44-3 2/58mm trying to use it in my Pentax K10D.
I have the M42 adaptor for it. But, due to the Helios focal ring to touch the body of the camera I can't rotate it when it is completly attached. Loosing a little bit I can rotate but I can´t focus. 
There is some solution for it? The lens is in perfect optical and ahestetical conditions.
Thanks

Hi paulo and welcome !
Funny enought, I've tried yesterday my Helios-44-2 on my brother's K10D and got the same problem : the lens does not touch the body mount but only the adapter: it is not well secured, so I've removed it and haven't see if there were any focus fproblem...
Unfortunately I guess that to resolve the problem, which include the need of a thin metal spacer with the diameter of the k10D mount, you will have to modify the default infinity focus setting of the lens.
Another solution is to get a later H-44-2 version with largeur mount base.

You first have to put your pic somewhere on the web (Flickr, Picasa, Imagehackus, your website, blog ...)
Then copy the URL of the picture (not the webpage) : left click on it, then 'Properties', copy the URL.
In your post, click on the "Img" button, paste the URL, another "Img" button click and that's all.

Welcome to aboard Paulo!
Your link is wasn't worked, because your link not a normal image url (end with .jpg)
At the end of post message box you can see a title Add an Image
Browse your images from local disk and click "host it!"
After all Imageshack site comes and copy here "hot link for forums (1)" content.
This is an another solution to show images.

Steve, that's the "original" version without focusing problems. I think Paolo means the version you see in Attilas Post from MMZ/Belomo. The focal ring is at the very back of the lens. I can use this lens with a M42-EOS Adapter with a very small embossment in the center so that the focal ring hardly not touches the adapter. But for Pentax with the same register distance as M42 there is no room for such an embossment.

Thanks for all your help and information. Now I can show my Helios 44-3 lens:
 
I have the propper M42 adapter for Pentax K10 D and atached to my K10D it stays like this:
 
So, As you can see in the photo above (green arrow) it stays at the same level of the camera body:
The focus ring is blocked because it touch the camera body. I don't know how I can solve this problem.
Niblue, I think your lens is a little bit different of mine or maybe you are using another M42 adapter. |

Ok, that's more clear. I have the same lens as niblue and it seats just on the adaptater as on his pic, but the adapter ring rotate a little bit (it's an official Pentax one) when you play with focus or aperture rings... I don't feel secure with it.
