You can try if you like.
But remember that we are not talking about a simple adapter here, because the person I 
answered to suggested that it be rangefinder-coupled.
It�s easier if you do not have to deal with a K mount lens barrel at first - so you 
can just put the proper inner sleeves and cams and it does not necessarily be that 
expensive - Voigtl�nder has done it at more reasonable prices.
OK, it is technically possible to transfer the movement of the K mount lens group to 
the cam follower in the L mount camera�s throat but the follower is calibrated for the 
movement of the 50 mm lens. If the lens has longer or shorter focal length the 
movement has to be adjusted accordingly and each focal length would need an adapter of 
its own. No adapters I know exist for this. If it were easier I am sure somebody would 
have done it already. You can be the first!
All the best!
