Anyone have any idea when/if Pentax will be releasing the teleconverters for the DA* 300mm and 200mm lenses?

They have been postponed, perhaps indefinitely, I believe. The planned T/C has been taken off the road-map.

Not so easy. People keep them in bank vaults nowadays.

That’s a pity – I was hoping to get one for my DA* 300mm. I have just looked at the March 2009 roadmap and they have both gone.

I believe they said that the products (tc & DA*30mm) when a new camera was available.
The K7 is out now but no news, maybe after the 645D?
