This is Pentax's low cost converter - four elements I think.

The post relates to Strobist set-up, why would you want to use a constant light source outdoors when you have the sun?Have you considered constant lighting instead of flash?

Sometimes things don't like being plugged into a hub and if this is the case the instructions usually mention it.
I would only plug in what needs to be plugged in though as computers can be sensitive devices. It strikes me that plugging a 7 or 10 USB hub is not unlike overloading power sockets with four way adapters plugged into four way adapters. It doesn't sound like good practice.

I have to admit when I read the OP I was picturing one of these Nevada weddings with Elvis lookalikes. The question might have been if we get married in such a chapel who owns the rights to the photos taken.
As for Elvis, I saw him a couple of years ago in the town square in Ormskirk, judging some sort of competition of Elvis lookalikes. Bizarre.

There's plenty of humour about, but if someone asks a sensible question it helps if they get a sensible answer. Otherwise, they might just decide not to bother asking again.
Like all humour, it's all about timimg.

eBay is an onvious choice. If you save a search for the item you want then as soon as somebody lists it you will receive an e-mail.

I have had a couple of 50-200mm lenses and they were both fine.
I use the 55-300mm now simply because of its longer reach. The quality is excellent.

Pentax have always made full frame fisheye lenses. We have to look to other makers for circular fisheye lenses.

In the context of the auction description, the vendor do doubt means a full frame fisheye - one that has a diagonal view of 180 degrees. In other words, the image fills the frame, unlike a circular fisheye of up to 220 degrees where there is a circular image within the frame, surrounded by black.
