Oh pack it in ... I would have to stay in Spain if I bought that otherwise the wife would kill me.

Of course, if you ever want to go on holiday and need someone to look after the lens for you while you are away I'm always happy to help.

Have a look at the pins and see if one has fallen out when you reassembled it.

I think I can safely say the TC has now been traded.

Thanks to everyone that looked ....

I can understand them wanting to get it right but how long has it been .. 2 and a half years?

The SDM converter wasnt announced all that long ago (In Pentax time)so I dont think that will see the light of day for a good few months yet.

I have the macro version of this teleconverter and had to take it apart to extract the Ricoh pin.
The actuator flops around on mine as well, from what I could see when it was apart there is no need for a spring as it works fine without.

Ps, I Do have a Sigma 1.4 version, but does'nt fit the Tamron
How do you fancy a straight swap .. I have a Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 and could do with the 1.4x matched converter even though the Tamron works fine with it.

In answer to your question, yes it will work with your Tamron very nicely.

Nice set Mike,
The plane shot was it a new plane? with a wing tip like that?
Plane was a next generation Boeing 737

More importantly was the plane taking you back to the UK at last???
Only for 5 days, back to Spain tomorrow

Not back permanently until the end of March but booked 3 return flights today with Ryan Air for £20 per round trip including taxes so it shouldn't be too bad.
Trouble is the weather is starting to change now and the sun is starting to shine more .. by March I won't want to come back.

Out of the 2 I would go for the Pentax.
Remember that if you order from SRS you get free postage as a forum member plus there is £25 cashback on the lens atm.
