I've got some FD glass that I use for stills that I'd like to use on my newly acquired BMCC6K, and I'm looking at getting a Helios 44-2. Thanks.
If that BMCC6K is EF, there's no good adapter for FD. Helios 44-2, just like other M42, can be adapted with a small ring adapter. You may need to try a few, until you find one that's focusing to infinity, but they are dead cheap.

I don't know the Urth ones, but I use a few K&F for MD to Sony, and they are not too bad. Not Novoflex or Metabones quality, but better than the no-names.
Now that the cat #19 is out of the bag, test it as much as you can and use the subforum.
