But do you actually see their photos? There's 'getting it' and there's actually getting it. I'm often doing tuition with people who just can't get a sharp shot of birds in flight, whatever the system they're using, but they also say "wow, that's it" when they get a shot that I would reject.

Anyway, I have the Tamron 1.4x, and I don't use it (rarely need anything longer than my 300mm). I'm open to offers.

Pentax... for everything else there's Canikon

Any teleconverter released by pentax is most possibly only going to be compatible with the da* range of lenses as the da lenses may not be fast enough to handle a teleconverter.

Which leaves just the da* 200mm and the da* 300mm the 200 with a teleconverter will not be as good as the da* 300mm and i doubt the teleconverter will even work withh the 300mm if it does it will be no better than one of the bigmas so i think pentax will need to bring out faster longer glass first before a teleconverter.

If Pentax do release a new teleconverter given the price of the new canon tele i wouldnt be surprised to see Pentax having an rrp of around £300 or even more...

I don't think the existing TC's are too bad optically with the right lenses. Focusing is a bit iffy. I took this today with the DA* 300 and the Kenko 1.5. Focusing was sluggish and I ended up using manual but mis-focused quite a few. This one was ok though:-
