No, Cameraquest does not have something similar.  The photo I presented was
of a special 43mm lens made by Pentax in a Leica screw mount.  There were,
to the best of my recollection, less than 1000 of these lenses made,
primarily for the Japanese market, although I know of a few that found
their way to North America.

I believe there are adapters that allow Leica glass to be used on Pentax
bodies.  I had one that I gave to Juan, but it didn't focus to infinity.  I
believe that Juan found an adapter that allowed infinity focus, but you'd
have to check with him to be sure.  My memory these days has turned to
porridge.
