Dynamic range is less likely to be your main problem with the SDQ than the very limited usable ISO range. I have found no difficulty recovering highlights or shadows with the SDQ and I usually shoot ETTR about 1 full stop, though under bright sunny conditions, maybe only 1/3 stop over exposure. You already have lenses for your Pentax, so I would stick with that. Those Pentax lenses may physically fit on the SDQ, but they will not function properly and may require mechanical modification to achieve a good fit that doesn't damage the SDQ. Buy another Pentax!!

I would avoid fitting Pentax lens onto the sdQ unless you want to damage the Sigma or remove the aperture pin and guard on the Pentax lens, that and the flange distance is different so wide lens might not focus at all and longer focal lengths can focus past infinity. 
M42 lens work well with the correct addaptor.
