All modern digital SLRs have adapters to accept M42 lenses. There are lots available at eBay and B&H. You do realize that you will be using the camera and lens in full manual mode. That is except for Pentax wherein you can use those lenses also at aperture priority mode. That's the main reason I went for Pentax dSLRs. I have a box full of M42 lenses. The best part is, with my K200d, I also get focus confirmation and shake reduction with those 30-year old lenses I have.
