[I'm catching up with the list, sorry to resurrect a two week old thread]
The photo I posted was of the istD sporting an Industar 50/3.5, which
has a 39mm thread. The adapter used in the photo was actually loaned
to me by Shel (I have to give it back to you, Shel, sorry). It is not
the right adape

That's exactly what I wanted to know! Now, how do you like the 58/2.4?
Got any photos from that that you can post?

I suppose maybe one could do this:
58/2.4 -> 37mm-42mm -> 42mm-K -> F 1.7 AF Adapter -> Pentax af body

Thanks Peter once I grab the lens I'll start looking for the
appropriate adapter.
Juan has more adapters than lenses

That should be "... very old lenses..." not cameras. I should really
proof read these things.

Juan Buhler posted a photo some time ago of an Arsenal 35mm(?) maybe it
was a 50ish mm lens, f3.5 in M37 mount on his *ist-D and a few Photos
taken with that combination, so the answer is yes. You can use the very
old cameras with new equipment. You get focus confirmation with your
older lens
