I have a 2x version of that converter I keep meaning to list in the classifieds. Probably the best TC Pentax have made, was excellent with my A* 300mm f2.8.

Interesting to read what is in the box = 2 lenscaps but no mention of the T/C itself! Bit expensive I would have thought!
K-3 II, K-3 and a K-70 from SRS (having now relegated the K-30 /"K-50" to a backup body), & some Sigma and Pentax lenses (and a lot of old 35mm gear!)

It's about what I'd expect - a good teleconverter is basically another high quality lens, and we know what lenses cost.

It will be interesting to see what the new converter can do, but it doesn't seem an urgent priority at the moment.
Best regards, John

Considering the price of the teleconverter for the Q I think it will be within a similar price to the one in the link. If its as good as the old rear converter we could be in for a treat.
