Yes that one teleconverter will work with full-frame Pentax lenses to the eventual Pentax full-frame body, but also strongly noting the rather limited range of existing Pentax full-frame glass. That range of full-frame glass working with the full-frame body will still keep all of the highest resolution sensor settings.
Yet, if it is outside of that range of lenses (say a nearly identical Sigma full-frame 24-70 f2.8 ) it is unknown if one will be able to use full frame sensor settings with such lenses.
Still, even with a full-frame body and aspc non full-frame lenses, the sensor and mp count will still be high enough for most users and most subjects - it will just be one of the most expensive (switched out) non-full-frame image capturing devices on the market if used in that manner.
Now if there would only be a set of Pentax full-frame extension tubes

That could produce an interesting effect then ... Only the central aps-c part of the FF image would be magnified . But then suddenly the outer parts would be so much further away ! Like two focal lengths, one inside the other ..... ?

Best will be a adapter af f x1.7.
DA AF produce vignette on 35mm film
My friend test it and before weekend I can show samples.

The
My HD Pentax-DA AF Rear Converter 1.4x AW does not vignette the KA 50mm f1.7 on my Super A, just tried it.
It is full frame on 35mm so will work on the full frame camera, when it arrives. It works with Screw drive and SDM/DC focusing lenses, by passing on the focus signals to the lens from the camera. It can't be used with the following as mechanical damage may occur, but in reality you are unlikely to want to use it with these.
smc/HD Pentax-DA 15mm F4 ED AL Limited
smc/HD Pentax-DA 21mm F3.2 AL Limited
smc Pentax-DA 40mm F2.8 XS
The other Pentax site lists it as full frame compatible, if you don't believe me.
The adapter af f x1.7 covers 35mm full frame but it does not pass through the screw drive focus as it was made as an adapter to allow manual focus lenses to be focused by the adapter.
It does not connect the SDM/DC signals at all so treats these as manual focus lenses.
When using it, you get the manual focus somewhere close and then the adapter focuses the lens correctly.

Full-frame bellow would not be a bad idea
Novoflex makes bellows for current (and future) PK, although they are quite pricey.

As I'm sure John knew, There's a large range of bellows usable on PK mount, I've got 3 different types, with different advantages costing under £50 per set used. A large range of replacement parts are available for the BPM model (including mounts for pretty much any SLR).
AFAIK none allow electronic communication between lens & camera, but all are fully FF compliant.
IIRC the Novoflex set allows lens tilt.

I'd be surprised if it doesn't work fine with any FF lens, and I'd expect it to be acceptable with many crop lenses too. Most DA lenses cover sufficiently beyond the crop sensor that the expanded image should cover FF (The portion of image normally getting to a crop sensor would cover 93% of FF after the TC). The 1.7x should be OK with all DA lenses (1.7/1.5 crop = 1.13)
No that's just plain wrong. I suppose it would be possible to build a TC that only enlarged the inner part of the image & passed the rest through unchanged. If that was done you'd have a significant zone getting both enlarged image & unaltered image (like a double exposure). In reality anything outside the enlarged portion will be blocked by the metal of the TC.

Sorry if this is a repeat. I phoned SRS today to ask them exactly this question. I was told after a long wait for then to speak to a pentax Rep that:
Using ANY digital glass (DA) on the new FF body will force the camera into crop mode. Apparently the crop mode on the dial is only so you can 'zoom in' with FF glass. I am so disappointed with this
I waited this long for FF now they go and mess it up.
