Anyone have any experience of Bower? I am after a teleconverter and they seem to have one www.bowerusa.com/about.php

Also what happened to the smc PENTAX-DA 1.4X REAR CONVERTER SDM which was announced in 2008?

Any one know where Pentax TC can be purchased in the UK?

Not sure that Bower manufacture any of their own lenses (but stand to be corrected). I think, like Vivitar, they put their name on the front of glass made by other manufacturers.

One example is the Samyang 85/1.4, which is also sold as Bower, Rokinon, Vivitar, Opteka.

Can't get a photo of the TC to load on their website, but wonder if it is a rebadged version of the Kenko Teleplus ones which are available in this country (try SRS). They don't autofocus with SDM lenses though.
