Thank you for your advice. ---------- Post added 02-25-15 at 10:44 AM ---------- Thank you all for replying.
I will try one of the low-priced adapters with my existing Pentax lenses.
If the low-priced adapter does not work then i will go for the expensive, but highly rated Novoflex adapter.

Although I regularly use my k-3, I recently gave in to temptation and purchased a Sony 6000 mirrorless camera (as an experiment and backup), and for Street Photography.
I would like to be able to use my Pentax lenses on the Sony and vice-versa.
Which adapters do you recommend please?
1. There are a confusing number of adapters around for fitting Pentax lenses on an E-mount/NEX Sony camera. I would like to use a pentax 24mm lens on the
Sony as I cannot afford the Zeiss lens ($1400AU), and the Samyang/Rokinon is somewhat cumbersome for street photography.
2. I was not able to find the opposite adapter ... for fitting Sony E-mount/NEX lenses on my k-3 or k-01.
Does one exist?
You may well ask ... why bother, unless you have an expensive Zeiss lens (which I don't and cannot afford)? Well, I purchased two of the Sigma E-mount Art series Primes - the 19mm and the 30mm f/2.8 for $177AU each and thought they might be OK on my Pentax kit.
Thank you
Michael
