There isn't a macro lens as yet, but maybe extension tubes will be a future possibility. Of course once the Adapter K for Q is available then any K mount lens that's suitable could do the job.

Close up lenses may be an alternative for now.

Sorry that is what I was meaning. Am going to buy the adaptor and I was wondering what would be a good k mount micro lense to buy

Oh I see. Well, as the adapter is going to mean manual focus only there seems to be quite a bit of potential there. Also bear in mind the 5.5x crop factor, so it may be that a 35mm Macro (200mm equivalent approx) could be as far as we need to go. A 100mm macro would have an equivalent angle of view as a 550mm, which for a macro lens would be very unusual!

That sounds like it could be some fun. there is such a difference in price range is there anything I should be looking for in a good macro?

Macro lenses are usually excellent regardless of make. All the Pentax ones are very fine lenses, so you have little to lose and everything to gain.
Best regards, John
