MF lens fans cannot own too many of these adapters. I buy one every few months just for the "halibut". The last one I bought, roughly a month ago, arrived today. It is a nice adapter (even came with its own Allen wrench) you can see here:

but with an important exception:
when I placed my order a month ago . . . shipping was free!! 
I grimace when asked to pay over US$5 for these. Guess I will go without for a while. |

How to use a M42 mount camera on T-mount lenses, if not with this adapter?
Also I have Rolleiflex to M42, with this adapter I can use this combo adapted to my Baader eyepiece onto telescope.
 guardian!
got me one, price is unbeatable!

Sure no problem. Always happy to be of service. Really not seeing that as a great price since here in USA adapter is now showing with a shipping cost of US$1.50, whereas last month shipping was free. Also, FWIW, it took just over a month for my adapter to arrive. That is not a complaint, though, please let me be clear. Only mentioning that for information.
I am holding further orders in hope price once again declines, though I could use ten or twenty (or whatever) more of these adapters. You never actually can have enough of them.

Really do not understand, and I hope I'm not missing something. Can try to answer first part:
Many of my older MF lenses, my favorites which are not automatic lenses, have T2 mounts. These require an adapter for whatever camera body (bodies) one is using. One of my camera bodies has SA mount, the other m4/3. Have SA-m42 adapter and also have m4/3-m42 adapter. So for me m42 is the common denominator allowing my T2 lenses to be used with either camera body straightaway.
AFAIK, no T2-SA adapter exists. T2-m4/3 adapters do exist. Here is the least expensive one I was able quickly to locate:
Click here to see on Ebay
So even were T2-SA adapters available, I think it would still make sense for me to go with an m42 intermediary just from a cost standpoint alone. This way, if I had a sufficient number of adapters (which I don't yet), the T2-m42 adapter screws onto the lens and remains there regardless which camera body I want to use. And I only have to buy one adapter for each lens. |

I'm a MF lens fan! 
Now in my case T2-M42 supposes to make sense as well, because I have M42 and Canon cameras -- using T2-M42 adapters on lens enables direct mounting to M42 camera and mounting on Canon using M42-EOS adapter. However, that is not my pattern of lens use. So I buy T2-Canon adapters -- less wiggle room for one thing.
Of course, no MF lens fan would buy more T2-M42 adapters than she has lenses.
