The 180mm Macro is on my 'to get' list; though it seems that lens has been discontinued, so it might be a little difficult to get hold of next year
Mike has far to many lenses, perhaps if you make him an offer

Teleplus Pz-AF 2x MC7 element works well and you get full SDM support.
That`s the one I have did not realise it supported SDM.
It also works quite well on my f 35-70, and even the 18-55 kit lens.

Hi Mike,

Quote:
As it's SDM you will have a very hard time finding a 2x AF teleconverter that will work properly
I though it also had a screw drive? have no experience with SDM, given it has both presumably it would "fail" to screw drive if a teleconverter was in place?

The Pentax AF 1.7x works well with it though
It is only a matter of time before I get one, been tempted quite often this year.

Have you thought about a Sigma 100-300mm f4
Actually I havn`t, mainly thinking about the prime because of the 2.8. Thinking this wil work better with a teleconverter.

Thanks for the info guys, am thinking about this as my wildlife lens, and maybe a 2x AF telecnvertor of i need the longer reach. Although am sure some people would be horified at that idea
I think the 300 would probably be a bit too long most of time, so have discounted that one.

Do Tamron do their 17-50 in a Pentax mount?
