Stefan, you need to tidy your sig up a bit

Your name seems to be below what looks like body text, but
is actually part of your sig You just need to move
Stefan up to the top line of the sig

I keep reading
The cruellest thing you can do to an artist is tell them their work is flawless when it isn't.
It's a policy that got me thrown out of a lot of finger painting classes.
as part of the body

Based just on the resolution tests it doesn't look very good.
The photos at then end look OK though. So may be like a lot of old
prime lenses, the performance is better than the resolution tests
would indicate.

The photos look a bit over-sharpened though.

Rather than post very low price deals that no one wants to see
in General Chat just send them direct to me by PM and I'll take
it from there

Hi Stefan, I think Bower and the New Vivitar are the same Company.
Most of their stuff is re-badged anyway.

Someone else makes a 1.7x TC.

I am new to the art of photography and have had a K-x for around 6 months now. Looking to get a Pentax 50-200mm f4-5.6 SMC DA ED Lens telephoto lens for wildlife photography. I am looking at the following teleconverter and can't find out if I will retain autofocus.:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Pentax-AF-K-Fit-2x-Tele-Converter-K7-K20D-KX-K10D-etc-/180... or not?

Any help will be really appreciated as I am on a very limited budget.
Looks like Vivitar have released a new 2x TC...... never seen that one before.
Only 4 elements which is low for a 2x (usually 7 elements).
It seems to have AF though which is rare.

As Stefan said you would be better off with the 55-300mm
SRS have some on offer at present.

Possibly too close to SRS prices. Post is free from SRS.

Who would have thought that a drop of water would make
such impact.... very nice.
