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.

Is there any update to this issue? I'm looking for speedbooster for Pentax K to my Fujifilm X cameras.
