Hi,

I was wondering if any one knows if this issue is with the m42 adapter or the lens itself?

As you can see, the manual focus range readings/text and aperture text are at the bottom of the camera.

The lens itself seems to be working...

Thanks in advance for any help.

its a normal 'issue' because LTM lenses were made by quite a few brands (not just Leica)
 

what you can do is find a torx/hexagon screwdriver from any hardware shop, loosen the tiny torx screws that hold the ring to the adapter body a bit and rotate it until the lens' aperture is the right way up. it is a normal problem. some of these china adapters even come with a tiny allen key for you to do adjustments.
