I ran across this Texas Instruments DIP Adapter EVM in a post on another forum. I added one to my last order from Mouser just to see what it looked like. It could be useful to someone that uses a lot of surface mount op amps (or similar devices) and needs to build prototype circuits on breadboards.
The full module is about 2.5" x 2.75" and snaps apart into six boards for each of six different package types and it includes two strips of high quality pin headers. It's not enough pins for all 36 boards, but it's enough to get started.
At $10 it's not a bad deal if you would use most of the different types or to have around "just in case". If all you really needed was one type, such as SOIC-8, you'd probably be better off just buying adapter boards for that package only.

Thanks for posting.
I just picked up a pack of these:
More compact than what I had been using:
I have been using these pins:
Might have to get a TI pack just to cover some more bases.
