I don't know of one offhand, but I have encountered some compatibility issues; the late Mamiya lenses that support full aperture metering have a pin that projects rearward from the aperture ring to couple to the meter.... this pin fouls on the lens mount flange of many cameras, including any K mount with an M42 adapter in it. I'd use special caution when trying any M42 lens on a different make of camera, especially where a non-standard feature like open aperture metering is involved on either side. I hadn't been aware of the mirror interference issue that you encountered, but the mirrors in 1970s-era cameras were much larger than those in the Pentacons and Prakticas that the CZJ lenses were made for, so it's not a great shock to hear it....
