Sounds like you are doing just what Pentax thinks you should do. If
they won't design and market a second set of shades for their LTD
series full frame lenses, let alone the -A and -M types, then you can
do it yourself. I still have three drawers full of lens shades for any
and all lenses, including shades for 8 & 16mm Kern Paillard (some very
tiny things), Series 4 to 9 with plenty of step-up and step-down
adaptors, screw on and cinch type. And a roll of black photo tape and
a bottle of flat black touch-up paint. I'm ready for the revolution!

I have ongoing difficulties with the sunshade on my FA31 being
optimized for 35mm not APS, so I just emulated the sunshade for my
DA40 using stacked stepdown rings.
I'd love it if Pentax (or someone) would make sunshades on the same
design as the DA40 shade that step down to a common 49mm thread,
spaced out the proper distance from the lens to not vignette based on
focal length.
