The best right now seems to be the Amadeo one. He is selling them faster than he can make them, they are usually gone a day or two after they've been posted on ebay - you'll have to keep a close eye on his ebay shop at http://myworld.ebay.com/amedeo.m/

The Helios is excellent and cheap, but the adapter is complex and correspondingly expensive - there are cheaper ways to achieve effectively the same result.
M42 CZJ Biotar normals go for about 60€ rather than the 20€ for a Helios (which is a Biotar clone). However the Contax adapter is more than a hundred € more expensive than a M42:MFT one - so in total, the adapted Helios runs up to almost twice the price.
And it is hard to spread the expense on the adapter across many lenses, unless you specialize in Contax/Kiev/Nikon RF collecting. There are few additional focal lengths suitable for adaptation, as the wides can't be adapted for technical reasons, and many of the longer lenses are high-price collectors items that fetch three to five times the price of the same optical module in a SLR mount (there is no desirable long RF Nikkor that was not also made in F mount).

The Roxsen adapter is a outer bayonet only adapter. That is, it cannot focus 50mm lenses at all (with the notable exception of the Kiev 5 normals), as regular Contax mount normals have no focusing helicoid. They attach to the inner bayonet and are focused using the camera integral helicoid.
Wide lenses use the outer bayonet, but cannot be used with MFT, as they are both too deep for digital and too wide for the MFT mount width. I.e. that adapter can only be used with long lenses - which Contax, Kiev and Nikon made in 85 and 135mm. Plus a Nikkor 105mm, a few third-party Japanese 105 and 135's, and a variety of original and third party mirror box teles beyond 135mm, if you dare to enter the less useful and more collectible terrain.
As I said: Wait until Amadeo has one on sale again - he currently is the only one to make a direct Contax/MFT adapter capable of focusing the normals.
