Thanks Mike thats good of you to share these they look fine to me Im going to weigh up the pros and cons between using a converter or have a look at a 150 500 or similar and see how I manage the weight.

Thanks Stefan,Bret and Mike I will check out the Tok Bret suggested. However looking at the shot of the Deer with the pentax and converter this looks a very good option. Would a 1.4 give a better IQ and also how much focal length would I loose compared to a 2x converter. Thinking back to the show I would imagine a focal length of 400 to 500 would have got me the shots I missed from the show by cropping the origanal photo tight to the plane.

I wonder how the Sigma 120-300 f/2.8 will be...
But those are not super zooms though
As for other zooms longer then 300mm there is only a short list.
Sigma has the 120-400, 150-500 and the 50-500 so pick one of the three, although maybe the Sigma 100-300 might stand up to some cropping.
Tamron has a 200-500 which is pretty good but they don't make them in K-mount
Will try to see if i've some images with the sigma 100-300 to show on here.
That would be good Stefan if you have also photos using the 1.4 converter attached to the lens.fritzthedog wrote:

It's on mine too, i thought the DA*60-250 would be able to stand up against it but the IQ of the Sigma is better, the Bokeh is smoother and it focus 4 times as fast, only the build quality is slightly less.and that 100-300 is definatley on my "one day" list

Well I've recently acquired the Sigma 150-500mm and good as it appears to be I wouldn't want to be pointing at the sky for long. It's blooming heavy!
Nwver realy thought about the wait and support needed but with spinal damage it looks like I will also have to take this point into consideration as well. Thanks for the feed back so far guys.Well I've recently acquired the Sigma 150-500mm and good as it appears to be I wouldn't want to be pointing at the sky for long. It's blooming heavy!

Mine is George a Staffordshire bull terrier, my other hobby showing and breeding the dogs of over 30 years now. However these days mainly just as spectator around the few shows I get to with the camera at hand.
