I have a KENKO Macro TELEPLUS MC7 for KA mount. Made by Tokina, I believe. The only thing missing is an Auto Focus option. I think it's just brilliant. I use it as a regular converter as well.
Tests in German FotoMagazine says that the regular Kenko MC7 is SUPER (one of the best of it's kind), but his one is supposed to be average. But I happen to think it's brilliant for my purposes. I rarely use it for macro's but often for photographing drawings, books etc. for Power Point presentations - and even for drawings, I can put into Adobe Illustrator applications as a base for new drawings/layers for projects etc., where digital maps aren't available. I can get anything into my computer this way! Next to my Pentax 1.7 X AF Adapter, it's the best K-mount accessory I ever bought! It's always in my camera bag.

Works well enough that I no longer feel the need for an expensive 200 macro. Pentax, AFAIK, did not make a TC with variable extension. Pentax DID make a variable extension tube, though, and you can still buy it (as well as both tube sets, the 50mm tube, and the 100mm tube) from B&H. -Lon Don Sanderson wrote: > I don't believe Pentax ever did. > I own 2 of the Vivitars, 1 M and 1 A version. > I'm quite pleased with both, before I owned true macro lenses > one of the Vivitars and an A 50/1.4 made a very nice 100mm > F2.8 macro. > > Don >
