The front is threaded to take a 58mm cap.

An alternative would be the 43mm (if your lens front element is small) + 43mm to 49mm stepping ring. That would take the 49mm cap.
I didn't get mine from this supplier, but they look the same and are of good solid quality.

Don't forget the £75 Cash Back!!! OR Send me your Receipt and I'll
have it
That makes the K-3 body a lot more attractive at £564 after CB. £205 cheaper that the K-3 ii
Better to scrub what I said about Cash Back.

Edit: Note the Pentax copier is FF and for APS-C you need a lens
of around 60-70mm....... 50mm needs the slide moving too far
in front of the bellows.
It's also easier to do this with tubes, The bellows is overkill.
It's fully closed in use.

Heliopan hoods are about the best.... Threaded at both ends.
I've been using them for years.

Teamwork also sell them on ebay.
Cheaper alternatives are available off ebay, but they usually
require a slightly larger cap.
Some info in this thread....
