Another to add to the open to offers:
Pentax-M SMC 28mm f2.8
Optically great but the aperture blades are slow to close. DIY fix maybe?
(The conservatory roof is the reflection in the optics, they are good!!)

And arrived safe and sound this morning.
Typically the M42 adapter goes for between £10 and £20 depending on the make with non Pentax versions being cheaper (interestingly SRS have 2 prices for the same adapter one at £24.99 and another at £54.99 - going to be cheeky and suggest Ricoh verses Hoya pricing). The Pentax version does not need a locking / unlocking tool and you don't have to worry about compatibility.
The reverse K adapter is another interesting one from a price perspective, the last listing I saw for a genuine Pentax one was for upwards of £75 and that was about 5 years ago. A non oem will typically go for sub £10 to £15 new.
