Take a look on ebay, there are plenty of lenses for Pentax bodies.

The SFX will work with any Pentax "K" bayonet lens ever produced, including all the variants like SMC Pentax-M, -A, -F, -FA, -FAJ. However, the image produced by the DA lenses will not fill the whole frame, so avoid these.
There is a new SMC Pentax-D FA 100mm macro lens which is quite good, and which you can buy new. It fills a 35mm frame despite being optimised for digital.
Second-hand, you will find it quite easy to locate one of the Pentax 100mm macros. The auto-focus ones are called SMC Pentax-F or -FA.
The Pentax macro lenses are all excellent. If yours wasn't a macro, then the M 1:2.8 100mm comes up occasionally, and it is a lovely small lens. The macros are a lot bigger, but they are amongst the sharpest lenses ever made, and you won't regret buying one.
Although there are a few third party lenses of good quality, you will find plenty of Pentax lenses available, especially on Ebay.
It's difficult to advise on shops, as you haven't said which country you live in.
