Sorry it didn't turn out the way you wanted, and I know this would have been a of a lot easier, but what if you bought a cheap UV filter for the standard Pentax lens and modified that to get "Holga-like" images. Olive oil, heat, saran wrap, or some other fun technique might work. And you'd get instant feedback looking through the viewfinder as well. Sure, it's not at much fun as getting the Holga lens to work, but still a hack!
You can just buy a Holga lens for Nikon or Canon from B&H Photo.

Thanks for the tutorial. The m42 adapter is a great idea.
