Thank you for your very informative and elaborate answers. Now I can finally stop looking for these elusive adapters. They just don't exist, because they can't exist.
This seems to be a very good forum. Within half an hour I received five answers to my question. This is pretty impressive. Thank you again.

Adam, thank you for your prompt reply. If I understand things correctly, then the K3 has the same size sensor as for instance the Sony E-mount cameras (I am using a QX1), namely the APS-C sensor. It seems to be possible to use the Fujian CCTV lenses with the Sony, as I found a wealth of c-mount to e-mount adapters. If the Sony APS-C adapter can handle CCTV C-mount lenses, why can't the Pentax K3?
I would also try my sony e-mount lenses with my wife's K3, but so far was notable to find an adapter for this. On the other hand there are many adapters to be found which let you use K-mount lenses with a Sony E-mount body, so I could easily use one of my wife's Pentax lenses with my Sony, e.g. her 100 macro, which is terrific.
You see, I am confused, because both the the Sonys and the Pentaxes have the same size sensors, but lenses are only compatible in one direction. What could be the reason be?

I can see I made a few mistakes in my last post:
notable = not able
What could be the reason be = What could be the reason.
Is it possible in this forum to edit a post I have already sent?

Hello everyone.
I am new here and my wife is an avid amateur photographer and owns a K3 (my wedding present). I discovered some interesting c-mount lenses made by Fujian, which I would like her to try with the K3. Is this possible? I have tried in vain to find an adapter. I did find a c-mount to q-mount adapter though. So if there is any way to use Pentax Q-mount lenses on the K3, that would do it too.
Can someone help?
Greetings from Tokyo.
