Hi Daniel:
If you mean screw mount (M42), then you'll need one of these:
Item number: 230009482293
I strongly caution you to only get one made by Pentax. I've found the
others to be almost, but not impossible to remove.
Here's some test photos made with an old screw mount Macro Takumar:

With the exception of the "M" lenses, the K mount lenses all work fine
with the Pentax DLSRs.
The "M" lenses will work, but one has to do a lot of menu button
choosing and pushing to do so.
