you might need one which works with SDM. both lenses mentioned are not auto focusing with DA 60-250mm
Pentax K-5: Pentax Da 12-24mm + DA17-70mm+ DA*50-135mm + DA55-300mm + FA 28mm + FA35mm + FA77mmltd

Woops, thought AF will work as the same, what should I go for then? BTW, will the MF still working, or they wont work with SDM lenses at all?

Tamron Pz-AF 1.4x MC4 and Kenko Pz-AF 1.5x SHQ (not DG) are the only ones that will maintain AF with SDM lenses (but make it even slower than it already is, probably not good for birds in flight in my opinion).brightstone wrote:

I have a Promaster 1.7x which has the Power Zoom contacts, the SDM lenses try to focus in AF mode with it but never settle for the correct point, going back and forth forever. Same with the different 2x converters I've tried, Tamron and Kenko, even those with PZ contacts: focus is never achieved, regardless of the SDM/HSM lens and the DSLR body.
