I am looking for,
Rear caps/hood for m42 adaptors and for my OM to EOS adaptors,
so I don't need to unscrew the adaptor everytime.
I am also looking for a front hood for my Pentacon 135mm 2.8 and my Olympus 28mm 2.8
Any good place to look?
Thanks!

Any generic EOS rear cap should fit your M42-EOS adapter as well as any other lens mount to EOS adapter if I have read this correctly.
Cheap as chips from China with free delivery
See:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SN9F-5Pcs-Rear-Lens-Cap-Dust-Cover-for-Canon-EF-ES-S-EOS-Series-Lens-Black-/400673440278?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item5d49ff8216
Olympus 2.8/28 has a 49mm front filter thread so a 49mm cap will fit
See:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/49mm-Center-Pinch-Snap-on-Front-Cap-For-Sony-Canon-Nikon-Lens-Filters-49mm-AU-CB-/221515054270?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item3393537cbe
Check the filter size of your Pentacon - a generic lens cap will fit that - usually available from Hong Kong with free post - check ebay
Cheers

I've bought between 8 EOS, 2 different sets of 5 E-mount and 8 M-mount rear caps for low prices, they all look ok, but their fit is not great, they are too loose and fall off far too easily, be sure to ask questions about quality of fit.

A bit of duct tape fixes loose fit in a moment.

Finding a supplier of reasonably priced adaptall endcaps would be good, I could do with about twenty.
