Can someone recommend any good sources for Pentax
filters? And does anyone know whether Pentax is
getting out of filters altogether?

I have had similar difficulty in finding Pentax SMC filters. It
appears as though Pentax has discontinued them, at least outside of
Japan. Last May I was able to special-order several Pentax 49mm UV
filters from CameraCanada (www.cameracanada.com) when B&H did not
have them, but later in the year they were unable to get any more for
me. If you really want Pentax brand, I'd try KEH to see if they have
any clean used SMC filters, or else switch to Hoya HMC-Super filters
as I have done.
