The Sunpak DX-12R has a 67mm adapter. Sunpak makes Pentax TTL modules

you might want to check on it.
I've used the DX-12R with my MZ-S and the TTL works well with it.

is that the macro lenses
allow you to focus a lot closer. If you're far enough away from your subject
that both lenses can focus then I wouldn't expect to see an appreciable
difference in the images at f/8 or f/11. It might make for an interesting
experiment.
