Well, my suggestion is to go with the original Pentax K adapter. They are much easier to use, and they allow infinity focus (while many third party ones don't allow infinity focus). ...

Agreed. Get the original one. Fit nicely and can remove with bare hand. I saw on ebay sometime selling for few dollars. I got mine from there too. OEM one is ok and mine can do infinity focusing just that they are tight and need ato use a metal thingy (given with the adapter) to remove it.
