Hi Ian
I have been using Nikkor lenses with the modded 350Ds and they work well , particularly the 180 F2.8 ED and 300 F4.5 ED, I paid aout $200 for the adapter , you can get much cheaper ones on Ebay .
The adapter has no lens elements so there is no extra distortion , some bodies like the Nikons require lens elements to get focus with M42 lenses , the Canon lens mount is wider so the adapter can fit inside.
One of the advantages of Canon bodies is you can use a lot of different lens fittings with them like Contax , Lecia R and M , Olympus and Nikon but I'm not sure about MD fit.
