Why oh why, desecrate both great brands. The flange depth is different for Nikon vs Pentax cameras. If you really want vintage made like tanks manual lenses, get a few Pentax Takumar M-42 / Screw mount lenses and a Pentax Branded / OEM M-42 to K-mount adapter. No glass just threads to bayonet. Why not get a older used Nikon body cheap and use your lenses as intended?
In addition to all my Pentax K-mount lenses I have many Vintage Takumar lenses as well: 28mm 1:3.5, 35mm 1:3.5, 50mm 1:4 Macro, 55mm 1:1.8, 135mm 1:3.5, older auto-takumar (not what it sounds like) 35mm 1:3.5. These I can use on my Pentax film cameras, Spotmatic, K1000, K2 DMD, and my digital cameras, K-3, K-5, K-20D, K-100D. Someday I also want one of those radioactive Takumar lenses, usually a yellowed 50mm 1:1.4 lens!
MILC are an entire different animal and question.

For those interested Canon FD and EF mounts will use Pentax (Screw and Bayonet), Nikon, Exacta lenses with an adapter and it does NOT need a glass element to focus to infinity.
