Good choice

I found a worthwhile improvement with the AF on the II when using it for moving subjects (motor sport, birds in flight etc.). It would be my first choice. But if your subjects are mostly static, then the 5 is just fine.

The genuine Pentax ones are (to the best of my belief) WR.

I have this setup too, and like you I find the AF speed is much better. It works pretty well (although obviously not as fast) with the teleconverter on as well.. . . . . Sigma 70-200 F2.8 zoom . . . . Tamron 1.4X Pz-AF MC4 Teleconverter

I would recommend using minus EV compensation of at least half a stop when using a 1.4x converter (and more when using a 2x). This is because 99.9% of teleconverters are non reporting on Pentax and so the camera is still metering as if it wasn't there.
Yes, a very useful tip. Thank you.I would recommend using minus EV compensation of at least half a stop when using a 1.4x converter (and more when using a 2x). This is because 99.9% of teleconverters are non reporting on Pentax and so the camera is still metering as if it wasn't there.
