Tamrom-F AF1.4X Pz-AF MC4, Teleplus (Kenko) Pz-AF 1.5x SHQ, Pz-AF 1.7x SHQ, also the Pentax 1.7 converter (Pricey!) Beware of newer Teleplus converters, they may not work, you'll be looking for s/h I'm afraid.
Great lens BTW.

I have to say the DA 70mm would have to be absolutely incredible for me to want one.

I think some of the DA ltds can be used, but are not optimised for film with the quality dropping off towards the edge of the frame. Although the 70mm doesn't look too bad, and you'd be OK with the subject roughly central, and the background deliberately thrown out of focus. The new DA 35mm is a different matter as it's so clearly based on the FA 35mm, whereas the DA ltds are new designs with no precursor from the days of film.

Will write to Sigma Corp Japan today and see if they have stock of 100-300 F4
I still have the letter from Sigma somewhere.........and a Sigma 300/4 APO that I bought from Mifsuds.

That's the Mk1 lens. There's a review of the better Mk 2
on a K-5 at Photozone.de link
I think yours is the same as a Mk 2
