Does this play nicely with the Pentax 1.4x TC?
Indeed it does. Unlike the Sigma teleconverter it reports correctly in the exif as well.

Thanks in advance.

For sale is my Sigma 100-300mm F/4 DG EX lens. It is in superb condition and comes boxed with hood, case, caps and tripod collar. This is the last available version made for Pentax and doesn't suffer from iffy focusing on newer bodies unlike some of the older versions. The lens is full frame compatible and really is an excellent performer on both the K-1 and the K-3.

Very rare beast in Pentax mount these days.

Looking for £675 including UK postage.

Tamron SP AF 17-35mm F/2.8-4 Di LD Aspherical [IF] for sale, in excellent condition. Comes boxed with front/rear caps and hood. If you want wide and don't want to pay out for a 15-30mm this is a fairly good substitute for a lot less money.

£250 incl postage.

I have used crop mode on occasions purely because you get faster fps and the buffer doesn't fill as fast but most of the time I leave the K-1 in FF mode and crop as required. If you do this when using a crop lens you can normally get a little extra out of the picture if required.

Quality wise if you put a K-3 image against a K-1 image which has been cropped it would be hard to tell the difference apart from the K-1 file being smaller.

I have said I won't be buying the K-3 III (and have actually written out a sale ad for here listing my K-1 and lenses) but I am quite interested to see how the AF performs on the new camera before I go ahead.
