Can try on ebay... prices vary from just under $15 for cheapo ones up to ~$65 for Pentax originals

Fotografix at Chinatown Point (#02-15 or the door next to it) still have some (original ones for $55 or third party ones for $45 each). The shop only opens in the afternoon, better call before you go:97831271, Mr Wong).

Good luck.

and one more question, is the third party ones made in Japan or anywhere else, China? Russia?

The ones at Fotografix were made in Japan I think. Why not just get the original one? It's just $10 more ...

Through fengwei's recommendation long time ago, I also bought one from fotographix. It's definitely a good fit. If u remove the locking spring(easy to do), u can fix it onto your m42 lenses and convert it into a k-mount claw. So when switching lenses, u just attach and remove it just like any other pentax k bayonet.

Bought one from ebay, the fit wasn't so good.
