Sadly.. its made for canon lens and while they will make it for other combinations I see nothing about a pentax version.

I can't see any reason why they would not work as well with this 'Speed Booster' adapter!

...But of course manual focusing & aperture control only.

edit: also m42 lenses should work (with m42->Canon EOS adapter). Wow - imagine all those great takumars...

my Pentax K full frame lenses with Canon 5D and 60D when I had these cameras.I used many
Pentax PK lens to Canon EOS mount adapter Actually I think this adapter (Canon lens to NEX/m43) works also with Pentax K lenses (not DA), you just need this kind of simple "PK lenses to Canon EOS mount" adapter to use with Metabones 'Speed Booster' adapter:
