No, unless it is an M42 mount or T/T2 mount, in which case you could the Pentax K mount adaptor. Depending on the lens, you might be able to hack a new mount (most likely for Contax I think).

- If it's an M42 mount - YES. K-mount adaptors are readily available.
- If its a T-mount - Most unlikely! these have three set-screws to hold the mount on. Personally. I have only ever seen one (and it's in my own kit)
- If its a T2 mount - YES. I think SRB of Luton still offer them. But a search for K-mount in T2 fitting should find one.
To check, the T2 is actually M42x0.75 mm pitch while the normal Pentax screw mount is M42x1.0 mm. The easy way to measure this without thread gauges is to press a piece of paper against the threads and then measure across as many marks (lines) as you can - then divide by the number of lines. That will be close enough for government work.

If you mean the 500mm mirror lens then it will usually take T2 adapters and Pentax ones are readily available.

Pick any one excuse from three.
