Can only recommend Leitax. I installed one on my old 28/2 .ZF Distagon and the fit was perfect including ability to focus to infinity. Just note that with Zeiss lenses at least you have to physically file off a bit of metal from the original aperture ring. So consider the effect on lens resale value if that is of any concern to you.

There are adapters with an optical element but I wouldn't recommend them.

If you're thinking of adapting modern Nikon lenses, the short answer is that you can't. Old lenses can be mounted with a little bit of hacking and/or bravery, but why bother IMO when there are so many compelling modern options that can leverage the K-1's full functionality.
