I'm guessing you bought a Samsung branded Pentax K mount lens? Samsungs first generation of DSLRs used this mount as they were rebadged Pentaxs.

There is an adapter but it doesn't allow autofocusing(and it's expensive and rare), you might aswell sell the Samsung K-mount lens and buy a Samsung NX mount of the same focal range, they're both roughly the same price second hand.

The Samsung NX Wiki page has more information than Samsung's own NX website for lenses, so have a look on there for what lenses you can use.

EDIT ; Avoid all Schneider-Kreuznach branded Samsung lenses, they won't fit your camera. Generally speaking, if the lens just says "Samsung" it should be ok (even then, there's a few that still wont fit.) Yup, it's all a little confusing and weird. Even major retailers have the wrong names given to the lenses.
