Mainly the MP-E 65 .. probably the only reason I would swap my Pentax kit atm.

It amazes me when looking round other forums how many photographers (mainly Canon and Nikon users) will not touch any lens that is not autofocus. I can understand the older generation wanting af because of failing eyesight etc (soon to be me the way mine are going) but the younger ones will not even entertain the idea.

Blimey - these things happen quick! Since missing out on the 12-24 bonanza I've kept my eye on this lot.
It was hardly a bonanza, there were only 2 of them

Sorry, there are no stores in your area with any of the items in stock.

The only teleconverter that will work with HSM and SDM is the Tamron MC4 and possibly certain Kenko 1.5's. The current Sigma teleconverters will not work with Sigma HSM lenses.

Ouch that would have been painfull

Yes, have the same problem with a trade at the moment.
I have my Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 and 2x EX converter up for trade on Pentaxforums and am looking for a DA* 50-135mm in exchange but I'm not sure I can get the Pentax into the UK without customs duty even though I am not actually exchanging money.

I thought about it a couple of times but the very large chance that it would attract another 25%+ when going through UK customs put me off.

The 70-300mm is not HSM so you can use any teleconverter with it (not the Sigmas though as they are made specificall for their fast lenses).
The Tamron is very hard to find as it will work with SDM (new pentax) lenses but the Kenko is just as good as you do not need that.
