Is anyone making a PK-FX focal reducer?

I'm kind of surprised to find that there doesn't seem to be a current-production Pentax K to Fuji FX focal reducer. There used to be a Mitakon one, right? Or am I imagining that? I'm finding several M42 ones, but no K. Is this correct?

I had two iterations of the Zhongyi Lens Turbo. Version 1 had problems with a deep blue spot showing up in bright conditions, and Version 2 wasn't physically compatible with some of my ultrawide lenses, most notably the M20. I sold both and await the Pentax FF debut.

Thanks, jcdoss! I considered getting a Canon EF > Fuji FX Lens Turbo II and adding a cheap PK > EF ring to that, but can't seem to find anybody who has actually done this and tried it out.
