Hello,

I found a thread saying that Kood one works pretty good. Are there even better ones, or should I just get that one? I have one from Russian site, but it doesnt seem to be too good..

I have had very good results with a Kood adapter both with wide lenses such as the CZJ Flektogon 2.4/35 and longer lenses such as the Jupiter 37A 3.5/135. Other people have recommended the Bower adapter although some people seem to have had difficulty obtaining this recently. There are examples of the use of these adapters on this forum and elsewhere. I can provide further examples of the Kood if it's helpful to you.

Is the Bower one this one: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/97559-REG/General_Brand_ABNS_Nikon_AI_Body_to.html ?

and that BH one appears to be same as this one: http://cgi.ebay.de/Adapter-Nikon-M42-mit-Linse-aus-JAPAN-HOCHWERTIG_W0QQitemZ260417597066QQcmdZViewItemQQptZDE_Elektronik_Computer_Foto_Camcorder_Foto_Camcorderzubeh%C3%B6r_PM?hash=item3ca2192e8a&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1229%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

are those "Bower" made?

Yes they do appear to be the same. I'm not sure that I would recognise a Bower adapter. However they appear to be identical to my Kood adapter. The lettering is identical except that the Kood adapter has "KOOD" stamped on it in addition to "M42/Nikon JAPAN". The spanner is the same and the prrice is similar. It's possible that there are only a few manufacturers with each one supplying different outlets. But I can't be sure that the ones in your links are identical to the Kood - or the Bower.
