The M42 mount is a screw-in type, but the K mount is a
bayonet type, which is turned on the lens side for mounting.

The difference can be clearly seen in the comparison
The screw-in type takes longer to install, but it is easy
to install by turning and fitting.
This K mount was also used for some lenses by Ricoh and others.
These are the K mounts for Asahi Pentax lenses.
We will continue to write our lens mount series.
