I notice Sigma have also said they will be releasing their ringflash for Pentax as well.

I was looking for a replacement hood for my 16-45mm and that was £25.
To say I was shocked was an understatement.

Quality seems ok with the converter, pity about the Sigma 2X though.
I am currently undecided about which lens to go for, the Sigma seems just too close price wise to the soon to be released DA* 60-250mm for me, I think I would rather pay the extra for the Pentax.
I am also waiting for some pics taken with the Tamron, I have a couple of 1.4X Tamron teleconverters and would like to see what they can do together.

I looked at the Tamron 17-50mm, Sigma 17-70mm macro Sigma 18-50mm.
After all that I bought the DA 16-45mm and its a cracking lens.

Never use it though ......

Arrived and as described thanks.
For some reason I thought it would be bigger

Unfortunately my Pentax *ist DS camera doesn't seem to be supported, nor any other Pentax camera.
I downloaded the profiles and put them into Lightroom 2.
The K10D was recognised straight away.

Can I ask what made you go for the Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 over the same offering from Tamron?

I did read on the other Pentax forum that the Sigma teleconverters will not autofocus with the new HSM lenses as they need extra electrical contacts.
How true this is I have no idea.

You can actually buy a PKA mount Vivitar 2X macro converter.
Mount that on a 1:1 macro lens and you get something like the fly I have on my gallery pictures.

Still not as close as the Canon mp-e65 but not that far off.
