One other thing to consider is the light loss when using a teleconverter. The DA* 300mm lens has a maximum aperture of f4, this will be reduced to around f5.6 or f6.3 (I'm not sure of the maths to work it out). This may not be fast enough for you depending on the lighting environment when you intend to use it.

Dislike the crop and the face not being central., but these are minor and I think the image works really well and has that 60s feel I think you where referring too...

I always assumed the 1.4 was more for portraits like the current 55mm 1.4 is compared to the the current 1.8 is..

It would be nice to see a comparison from someone who has gone from K-5 to K-5 IIs. Jumping from a K-7 means you don't take into account everything you already had with a plain K-5 so it would be a much bigger jump in IQ/performance.
I took mine out today no comparisons shots but it seem to focus a lot faster and IQ seems sharper will take both K5 and K5-11s out tomorrow and try a true comparison by taking same shoe with each camera with the same lens on and post the resulting images
