Sorry about the delayed reply. This is a pretty detailed description of my newest setup:
I have
All of that in this order:

Misunderstanding.
Check out this http://amzn.com/B001G4QXN2 for a quick idea of what it does. They're basically all the same thing. Some have electrical contacts, but most, if not all, of the m42 lenses are fully manual anyway.
No dismantling of lenses. Check out the pictures on the product page.
I use This one, and $6 is much lower than the $30 you're looking to beat.
I've used these:
M42
PentaxK
Nikon
and have gotten pretty good results shooting video with my 60D.
I use several takumar lenses on my canon with these. They work flawlessly. http://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-Mount-Adapter-thread-Digital/dp/B001G4QXN2/ref=sr_1_3?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1368311006&sr=1-3&keywords=photodiox
You think if I used this adapter + this adapter it would mount on my Nikon? Perhaps another combination of adapters?
just search ebay, choose buy it now, and sort by lowest price with shipping.
i have a $6 Fotodiox and i took a chance on a cheap chinese one. functionally they're equally as good. go cheap & get one for each lens.
go ahead & get a rear lens cap for each one too so you can just leave the adapter on the lens. Lens Rear Cap Cover for CANON
There's this if you want focus confirm, or this if you don't, or if for some reason your camera doesn't like the chipped adaptors, like my two film cameras. I own one of the chipped and two of the non chipped.
If you don't need autoexposure this is what I'm using. Keep in mind not all copies have the cool made in USSR text so you'll have to do some eBay digging.
So something like this?
