Apparently the quality of this type of adapter varies quite a lot. Some people have reported good results, others not. It depends upon the make. I don't recognise the adapter shown in your listing. However there are several threads on this forum where the topic is discussed in more detail. See for example

Thanks. I have tried to search "kood" or any Japan made but did not find one. Is correction glass needed? Mike

If I do a search for "kood" on this forum it returns a list of 38 threads. The 1st is this one. The second is relevant. Others are releveant but I don't have time to check them all.
If you want to achieve infinity focus with an M42 lens on a Nikon camera body you will need an adaptor with an optical element. Whether or not this is a good idea is a matter of debate. Different views have been expressed on this forum and elswhere.

I have an adapter like the one in the picture. Only with the CZJ 135/3.5 I have got any decent results, not with shorter FL lenses. Maybe the simple teles are more compatible with glass adapters.

Maybe you are right. I tend to use wides for plant portraits taking a centre crop...
Flektogon 2.4/35 at f/8, adapter, Nikon D60.
which are OK. But I haven't done the brick wall test so I don't know what the edges and corners are like.

Here´s some brick walls with
1. CZJ 135/3.5 with a M42 brandless glass adapter at f/5.6
2. 100 % center crop
3. 100 % center crop of a Nikkor 135/2.8 shot at f/5.6
4. CZJ with glass adapter wide open
No PP, just resized.
In my opinion, with the CZJ, the quality loss is not so bad, but for a critical shoot I´d still choose the Nikkor.
