K-x and the HD Pentax-DA AF Rear Converter 1.4x AW

According to the spec on the website, the rear converter does not include the K-x as one of its compatible camera bodies, and phoning Ricoh support shed no further light on this topic. Do any members have experience of this combination, say with a DA*300mm or a DA 55-300 zoom?

Thank you much if you can help.

It's a matter of supporting the AF function. The converter will presumably be MF only on the K-x.
Best regards, John

It works fine and AF works, with the limitation that the extended focal length is not recognised. This also means the shake reduction applied will not take the 1.4x into consideration.
