I don't see most Pentax zoom lenses in the list, will this work on lenses such as the Pentax HD PENTAX D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6 DC AW Lens? I have that and a couple of other really great lenses that I would want to use if I purchase the Sony A1 and am hopeful these lenses are supported.
Pentax HD PENTAX D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6 DC AW Lens Pentax has a built-in DC type autofocus motor, but no provision for screw drive autofocus. For that reason the Monster Adapter LA-KE1 Magic Ring Pentax K Lens to Sony E-Mount Camera Adapter is not compatible.

Will there be one for Fuji X mounts please?
Although we're not aware of any plans that Monster Adapters has to release a model with a Fuji X mount, the FotodioX Mount Adapter for Pentax K-Mount AF Lens to Fujifilm X Camera, BH # FOPKAFFXRF would be a suitable alternative.
