Good link Stefan.
Interesting comment "Pentax used to be perceived as an “economy” brand, but we’re moving away from that image".
Indicative of the end of lower prices?

It will work - just set the lens to manual, which is how the 1.7 is used with any auto lens.

It seems that way, it won't be a bad thing for the more advance serious photographer.Interesting comment "Pentax used to be perceived as an “economy” brand, but we’re moving away from that image".
Maybe it's an indication off a DA*400 and a bit more exotic lenses

The AF is in the TC so it doesn't matter what kind or if the lens has AF focus or not.Hm, notice the remark RE: loss of screwdrive focusing.

If you put an Pentax K or A 50mm for example on it the TC also still focus right?
You will only have a problem if they just like Nikon take out the screw-drive in the lower end bodies, but since they say the DA limited will keep the screw-drive I wouldn't worry about that too much.
