I am looking for Pentax HD DA 1.4x teleconverter to extend my DA*300 when I go on holiday in March.
Does anyone have one for sale or have any experience of this particular combination (I gather that some converters do not match well with particular lenses)

I wouldn't sell mine but as for experience in using the DA300mm and converter I would have to say this lens was the main reason for producing the 1.4x as they are a perfect match IMO.

Works ok on the 60-250mm as well

Hi Egret

I agree with Mike and I have this combination. Please forgive me for missing focus on the Bird's Eye, but I think the image below demonstrates how good the DA*300 and 1.4 TC combination is.

I have sourced a converter, many thanks to all for the helpful suggestions / comments and for the offer for sale.
It is so useful being able to speak to people who have used this kit
