The KT6 and 2x A are worth watching.

I have a mint Pentax 2x A for sale.
I used to use it with the M*300 and FA*400.
PM me if interested?

What is KT6? Why is the 2X A without SMC marking?

Why not buy a 1.4x or 1.5x AF one, it will work perfectly well in MF?
Plenty to choose from and relatively cheap.

a 1.5x or 1.4x is ideal, just losing one stop. but it's hard to find one for pentax with a good optical design. F 1.7x seems really nice, but the price has gone up the roof.

MF in the heading, does that refer to Medium Format?

In this case I think he means "manual focus" as in the "mflenses" forum. As acronyms go MF is one of the more ambiguous ones.MF in the heading, does that refer to Medium Format?
I wonder if there is a mfmflenses forum....

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I did see one of pentax x1.4 for sale on ebay. it ended around 60 quit. it's marked with SMC or in PKA as far as i remembered.
Pentax used to have some 'takumar' lenses, which were the cheaper alternatives and the optical quality were not in line with the SMC versions.
