John, I was in the Navy back in the 60s. When a new version of a lens
or camera came out and was listed in the catalog of new gear, we
bought it.
It was my job, when the new stuff arrived, to sit on the loading dock
at the rear of the photolab and use a hammer and a straight slot
screwdriver to drive a hole through the cameras, and through the glass
in the lenses. Watch many a Nikon and lenses die in my hands. It was a
good thing.
The same should be done with the old M42 glass if the owner can't sell
it for the price they want, does not have a public collection of
Pentax memorabilia, or no longer has a camera to use them with. Maybe
it will make the remaining lenses in the world sooo valuable that
someone will build you a digital camera to use them as you wish them
used, in exchange for a couple of spare lenses.

NO, YOU ARE JUST CLUELESS TO THE QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF
SUPERB M42 LENSES MADE BY PENTAX AND OTHERS. But if the
auto aperture feature is not supported on any DSLRS
it cripples them FUBAR from a user standpoint. If supported
these lense are pleasure and easy to use and offer incredible
image quality and value, but you wouldnt know that. See clueless
above.
