I have Leica and M42 to T adapters purchased from Spiratone maybe 15
years ago. They were bought to be able to use Leica and Pentax threaded
lenses on my bellows by attaching the OM/T mount to the bellows. The
Leica adapter says "Leica-T" on the box and on the adapter. The Pentax
adapter says "RT flange for Pentax" on the box and has absolutely no
markings on the adapter. If it were sitting in a junk box you'd have no
idea what it is unless you've got a sharp eye for 42mm threads. I have
no idea what the "R" in "RT" is supposed to stand for.

ObOly: Scored a (somewhat tired) 300/4 for AU$59 on the weekend. M42
mount, but at that price I can deal. Anyone know of an
M42 to T-mount converter (put an M42 lens on a T-ring)? This
lens could use a little extension for nature use anyway.
