On bintel they have two Pentax T-rings. One is described as "T-Ring Pentax K" (here) and the other as "T-Ring Pentax Screw" (here).

Is there any difference between them?
Thanks in advance
Yes! a big difference.

Pentax screw is fairly old and is just that- a screw or thread way
of attaching lenses.

The newer K type mount is a bayonet or 'insert and turn a bit' type connection.
All newer Pentax (or third party add-on lenses like Sigma made for Pentax)
have the K type adaptor.

I recently bought the Bintel K adaptor for my Pentax camera.
At only 35 scobes it's a good buy
