I'm thinking a Carl Zeiss Jena 20/2.8 MC Flektogon is the way to go for
now. $200-ish on eBay. And Super-Tak 85/1.9's are not too much more. but
I can be a real snob about glass in some cases (I'm a little hesitant to
buy russian glass, poor QC).

I bought a vivitar 20/3.8 in M42 mount for about $45 about 6 months
ago. Not the greatest lens, but it works, and the price was right. :-)
I also have a Jupiter-9 85/2 in M42 mount. Once again, not the
sharpest tool in the shed, but a very nice bokeh for people pictures.
Now if I could only afford the real Pentax 20mm and 85mm lenses...

Cost savings. The M42 lenses just need metering, the K/M lenses need
hardware that the M42 and KA and later lenses don't require.
