Hi,
   I think an adapter for any type of lens that has a longer register
   (flange to film) distance by some amount required to machine a
   thin/thick adapter is possible.

   Problem with Pentax vs other brands wrt adapters is that most other
   new - changed mount - brands (EOS, Minolta) use quite shorter
   register distance than Pentax or Nikon. so it's easy to make
   adapters for almost any kind of lens to Maxum or Dynax or Eos -
   their M42 adapters are of bayonet type, just buy one per each M42
   lens and voila, unlike the stupid Pentax adapter which you must
   drill a hole in the lens to do this.

   See a register table on W.J. Markering's site, if it's still there
   - any lens with register longer by about 1cm will almost definitely
   be able to mount with an adapter on a Pentax.
