I'm not sure I'd want to fit my camera in there without some form of protection

A word of warning re-Sigma converters

They do not convey the extended focal length to the camera, stick a 2x on a 300mm lens and the camera still thinks its a 300mm lens, which really stuffs up using the SR when you need it the most.
Ditto Teleplus and everything else I've tried.

The (now discontinued) Tamron 1.4x TC is pretty good and fetches a good price. The Pz-AF Teleplus (Kenko) 1.5x, 1.7x and 2x 7 element are the best available at present if you want SDM compatibility.

Hi Stefan, sorry misread your post, I thought you were implying the only converter to give SDM was the Pentax, which as far as I know doesn't. My mistake.
