K-- would be the J mount.

I realize this is an old thread but I just received a reply from the seller of one of these lenses for K-mount in the Market Place. The lens has a lever but no "A" setting and contacts, so green button metering should be used.

The photo in this thread may be for the Nikon mount of a pre-production model as there is a review video youtube of a production model for Nikon that shows a control lever. However it lacks the aperture control tab on the aperture ring so stop-down metering has to be used.
