Hi BC.....
No misunderstanding!
Whilst there does not seem to be an off the shelf solution adapter wise that gives infinity focus to the Pentax mount....... there is however a ROXSEN adapter which is 39mm Leica thread to Pentax K mount which is obviously going to be too short .....however removing the bayonet on one of the adapters would give ....Leica thread to flat flange......with an appropriate spacer the second adapter could be screwed to the first creating the appropriate 16.6mm overall distance......the adapters are only £4.90 each......from UK
A friend from my aircraft model club has a decent lathe...........

It is a pity that there doesn't seem to be an off the peg adapter.......for just about every other mount there is something.....Pentax is a bad choice for adapting lenses......
