Yep - me too. I've got both of those converters, and I too have used them on the FA* 80-200/f2.8 to good effect. I've also used the 1.7x AF on my A* 300/f2.8 on many occasions. I'm more than satisified with the results. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
