Hi,
I'm using the following:
Tamrom-F AF1.4X Pz-AF MC4, Teleplus Pz-AF 1.5x SHQ & Pz-AF 1.7x SHQ all with pretty good results on a DA*300, from what I can tell they're all probably made by Teleplus. I occasionally use them on other lenses as well FA 135/2.8 & Tamron 90/2.8 Di.
Hope this helps,
John

The Tamron 1.4x seems to fetch a good price, the Teleplus, Kenko et al are generally found cheaper on the likes of Ebay. I got all of mine s/h apart fron the 1.5x which was NOS (New Old Sock) I've *heard* that the later ones don't always work with SDM lenses in AF, but I have no direct experience, apparently it needs the "Pz-AF" lettering on the side of the body. The contact for Powerzoom on the mount carries power to the SDM motor, best of luck and good hunting.
Best regards,
John
