T Ring availability for Pentax Cameras
Put "T ring pentax" into Google and there are at least 10 good hits, covering several makers prices starting at £10.
As for extensions tubes the shop associated with the site comes up FIRST in the results of a google search for "pentax extension tubes" cost just £12, Kenko auto tubes from £121
Good luck

This relates to the topic of attachimg a telescope to a Pentax DSLR. I have to inform everyone that it appears that it is not possible to obtain a T Ring as no company seems to make them!! The one site that advertised such a ring had made a mistake in their description!!
If anyone knows where I can get one I would be most grateful. The poor support/availability for accessories such as this is a major drawback of the Pentax system. Another example of this was trying for 3 months to get a set of extension tubes, which I obtained only by sheer luck! The T ring is a basic and cheap item available for other systems!
Many thanks,

Got mine £9.95 off ebay. Arrived two days later.
I got it from a "Vintage camera" accessories shop. But, as the K mount hasn't changed down the years, I'd say, far from a drawback, it is a selling point (IMHO)
Oh, My friend paid almost £30 for a T ring adapter for his Canon DSLR.Another plus for Pentax!
Pentax K10d, *istDL, Kit lens ( 18-55mm ), 50mm f1.7 lens, Tamron 70-300mm lens, Prinzflex 70-162 manual lens, Various old flashes.
