Jupiter 9 lens for pentax k500

Would anyone be able to help me figure if this lens here would be compatible with a K mount?? I tried to make it fit but couldnt manage to do it...

The Jupiter 9 was never made for K-mount. It was made in Zenit M39 & M42 and for Kiev/Contax rangefinders.

The rangefinder lenses are not compatible with DSLRs, but they can be adapted to mirror less systems.

The lens pictured is the Jupiter-9 in Kiev bayonet mount. It was intended for use on Kiev 10 (Automat) and similar cameras. It cannot be adapted to Pentax K. To best of my knowledge, there are no commercial adapters to any current lens mount. Here is a link to a discussion about a home-built adapter to Canon FD for use on a Lens Turbo:

You forgot a couple. The short list includes:
  • M39 LTM (Leica thread mount) rangefinder
  • M39 Zenit SLR
  • M42 screw mount SLR
  • Contax/Kiev rangefinder
  • Kiev Automat bayonet

(...owns a couple of J-9s in two different mounts...)
