Recent Adapters for PK...Worth It?

[magkelly]

There are a lot of new adapters out there for PK mount to adapt Yashica, Konica and Minolta MD lenses to Pentax K mount. It used to be that the corrective glass wasn't ideal but I'm seeing a lot of nice reviews on some of them on Amazon and I'm wondering if anyone has actually tried some of them as yet? I used to basically ignore these adapters because it seemed that most of them were no good but I'm starting to second guess that and I do have some very nice lenses in those mounts so if it's now possible I'd like to try them maybe. Most of these run $25-45 a pop though so I'm cautious about just grabbing them. Some of the makers I have other adapters though and they're pretty good, so I must admit I'm wondering. Anyone tried any of them? Which ones? I'd post some links but at the moment Amazon's search engine is having issues it seems...

I bought 2 for PK,1 was a loose fit the other had lock mechanism like old FD lenses and I would recommend.

This is the one I am the most curious about. But $40 is a lot for an adapter and I hate to waste it if it's not worth it.
