so I have been experimenting with Z6 and Helios 44-2 58mm lens. Currently using it with the FTZ adapter and m42 (with infinity focus correction. Is that best combination of adapters to use with this old vintage lens, I am happy with results so far, would like to know if there is m42 to z adapter with will work with this lens?

Nice! The Helios can be a lovely lens - some test pictures I took with one on a Canon body here:

Great shots! Can I ask which M42 (with infinity correction) you used?

A bit late, but the Fotodiox Pro M42 to Z adapter should work without any corrective glass involved.

It works well with some old Takumars I have laying around.
