Picked up the FA 28 and F 50 last wednesday when I came to London, they are perfect!

Thanks Chris for a very smooth transaction.

It should work with the Tamron, as well as with the Kenko SHQ, if I'm not mistaken (those work with SDM lenses).
It's the Sigma convrters that haven't got the contacts.

Found 'em. For some reason when I type "view seller's items" on your eBay seller's profile it shows nothing.

They're not visible at the mo, are the auction scheduled to start later?

Hi,

If it's the SHQ version I'll take it (PM on the way), but the picture is of the DG version - "DG" lettering clearly visible on the side of the converter and on the box... :

Wow, speaking of Ffordes... they have an A* 135mm f1.8 in E++ condition for £799
That's a great price, right? I just saw one go for over $1600 on eBay today - that's £300 more.

John,

Do you think that Sigma 400 would be better than your signature's DA* 300 + 1.4 Tamron or 1.5 Kenko combination (by the way, can you confirm that they've actually both got the same magnifying factor, that is that they're both 1.5x)?
Also, is that Pz-AF 1.7x SHQ you have a Kenko too? I've never heard of that one, I do have the Promaster one though. Does yours AF with SDM lenses?

In that price range you should be able to find a Sigma 50mm EX DG 2.8, or a Cosina/Pentax AF 100mm f3.5. Maybe an older AF version of the Tamron 90mm 2.8, or the MF adaptall one (1:1)
Pentax M 100mm F4 should be sub-£100, I think, but that might be too much of a compromise for you (F4, 1:2 ratio, manual exposure)
