Nikon AF lens to Pentax adapter?

From my days before I saw the light I have some very nice Nikon AF lenses including the legendary Nikon AF 180 ED 2.8.

Is there any way I can use these lenses on my Pentax K-3? Is there a Nikon to Pentax adapter available that retains auto-exposure and AF?

I have attached some photos that clearly shows the Nikon mount.

Thank you!

Yep. If it makes you feel any better, the same is true the other direction. It is not possible to adapt Pentax AF to Nikon with full functionality either.

The closest I've seen is an adapter from K -> Canon EF, which could be programmed to have auto-aperture.

Pentax K+ Multi Mount (WR version) - Adaptist

This one exists. You have to go with MF.

Some say that you can mount a Nikkor lens on a Pentax body without any modification. YMMV and you are on your own.

You could try an adapter like this, but some of the magic gets lost in that piece of glass needed for infinity focus. Apparently.

Or you could do a Leitax conversion.

Leitax is not an option for Nikkor lenses with CPU contacts. It was designed for Zeiss ZF lenses and not all non-CPU Nikkor lenses are compatible either...
