Bargain? K-mount?

So I picked up this lens for 4€ on Saturday. Thought it was cool, and if I can't get an adapter it would make a nice paperweight-lol.

Since I've not handled a Pentax for roughly 20 years my mind is a little rusty. Is this a K-mount, and are there good F-mount K-mount adapters available?

I don't think it's a K mount, they usually have a second lever that passes the position of the aperture ring to the camera. The cut out in the bayonet opposite the lever is indicative of one of the other mounts - IIRC it's the Minolta SR/MC/MD...
Adapters to fit on a Nikon F mount will not focus to infinity unless the adapter contains optical elements. Nikon cameras have a long flange distance, making them a poor choice for adapting lenses.

Thanks, the green MC printed on the lens would suggest Minolta MC? Or is this just 'multi coating' or whatever was 'in' for the marketing people back in the day? The reason I thought Pentax was that it was offered with an old Pentax camera and an assortment of other lenses. I should have just tried it on the Pentax.... I will take it to my local store and ask the pro's if they have any ideas.

Not a K mount, not sure what it is.

I agree with petro -- MC is typically Minolta/Rokker Look for a cheap SRT101.

MC is likely Multi-Coated.
