I believe all will work for manual focus.
The 1.7x AF adapter should autofocus with any lens (but be aware the way the adapter works you manually focus the lens first and the adapter fine tunes it. It's actually quite easy and provides a useful focus limter effect).
If the lens you buy has screw drive focus (rather than SDM), like I think the Tamron lenses, the Tamron 2x TC should also fully work.

Sorry missed this. If this is a Sigma with a in-lens motor (called HSM, I think) then the other teleconverters will probably work as manual focus only. There is an outside chance the Tamron would work, as it has the power zoom contacts, but I can't guarantee it.

Hi W , sorry lack of technical knowledge on my side. The Pentax or Tamron x2 rear convertors would they work , it is a HSM lens ? Cheers, Patrick

1. Pentax-A 24mm f2.8 £120
Very nice condition optically and mechanically. Just a little "brassing" on edges of the aperture ring. Has original caps, and original square hood, with pouch. Better built than the A 28mm, and of course has the "A" mode.
2. Pentax DA* 16-50mm f2.8 £420
This my 2nd copy that I bought as back up, while my other was repaired. Not had much use. Excellent condition. Focus works fine. Boxed with hood, caps, and pouch.
3. Pentax-F 35-70mm F3.5-4.5 macro £30
Useful little outdoor lens. Pretty sharp, nice focal range and macro mode. Used this in combination with my GR a lot. Good condition.
4. Pentax-F 1.7x AF Adapter £150
Good quality teleconverter, that can also make your manual lenses autofocus! Works well with the DA* 300mm. Good condition.
5. Pentax-A 2x Rear Converter £35
Surprisingly good teleconverter with the "A" contacts. Good condition.
6. Tamron PZ-AF 2x Teleconverter £40
Nice teleconverter with the power zoom contacts (unfortunately doesn't seem to work with SDM autofocus). Good condition.
7. Jessops Auto 2x Teleconverter £15
Teleconverter with the "A" contacts. Good condition.
8. Pentax AF 540FGZ Flash £170
Boxed, as new.
All prices include postage to the UK. Payment via bank transfer or paypal. Note: earliest I can post is 7 November.
