The Sigma 105mm macro is close to your budget, alternatively look at the Tamron 90mm macro, similar money.I use the Sigi and it's a great lens.

NSantos, Thank you for the comments on my web site, all the images have been shot with a Pentax, varies from the Ist'd to a K10D and the last few with a K7.
I have used the Sigi 100 - 300 F4 with a 2x Conv, does work although you need a decent amount of light to avoid camera shake, have done some test shots at 60th Sec not pin sharp but acceptable.

Have both camera's and in my view the K7 snaps in quicker, although yet to try it on fast jets or in flight birds. hth

Emma, most digiscoping units will go on DSLR's using a T Mount adaptor, you'll need to look at wether Nikon make one for the Pentax or if a universal T mount in PK fitting will work with the Nikon scope.

I've used a Seagull one on both a K10 and K7, good value at around £20 from Fleabay or similar, not requiring it that often, could'nt really justify spending more, plus the same thing is available from retailers for a lot more.

Hi Wobbley Goblin, it's been some time since I've used the 2x, will check later, but I believe it does work with AF and in reasonable light conditions, as I've used it at Slimbridge after Kingfishers, allow me to come back to you and confirm.
