It's possible, but probably impractical and I doubt it would be cheap. I wasn't talking about an adaptor. It would mean removing the K-mount and undertaking some modification to the body to adapt an M-mount, which is achievable but would require a precision machine-shop and a fair amount of consideration to make it look like a professional job. Even so, it might be a challenge to make it for less than the cost of a second-hand M8. Of course, if you have the design skills and your own machine-tools, and you don't cost your own time, it could be an economical little project. I'm not about to try.
