Sigma list their TC's for use with Zooms as well as primes. Frogfish wrote:

Strange?.... most of the tests I've seen in magazines were a TC on a zoom lens, usually 70-200mm in the film days. Losses were often only 5% to 10%. If you just blow up the non TC shot by 2x you immediately lose 50% of the resolution, so 10% loss with a TC is much better.As someone else said earlier - TCs are primarily made for primes.

A 70-200mm f/2.8 +TC is a very popular combination

Good price for a non 'A' Series 28mm

The Pentax 55-300mm works well with Pentax 1.4x and 1.7x converters.
The main problem with any long lens is holding it steady
Is that from personal experience ? It's not my experience at all - the zoom doesn't like TCs (this is well documented) and the IQ is awful.The Pentax 55-300mm works well with Pentax 1.4x and 1.7x converters.

The first shot is without the 1.4x-s TC... Pentax 55-300mm only on K20D probably zoomed out a bit. 100ISO
This is with the Pentax 1.4x-s (both shots handheld) on the 55-300mm
The bokeh looks better as well.

I would imagine that they would class a camera as incompatible if you can't tag a shot in the camera as a favourite? so that the software just uploads the favourites?
I just let mine upload all the JPegs. I've used it without problems on K20D and *istDS plus GX-20.
Even if the camera allowed Favourite Tagging I would never use it, you can't tell off the preview screen which shots are good and bad. Favourite Tagging is aimed at the point and shoot market.
That's why I asked the question above about Selective Transfer or Selective Share.
