I had a FA* 300 f/2.8 which had a recessed rear lens and, therefore, would accommodate the 1.4L T/C. I understood that the L was the better of the T/C's. (?) Jack - Original Message - From: J.C.

A2X-S or A1.4X-S. The L has a long front snout, and it won't work with the 300/4. Paul On Oct 28, 2012, at 8:22 AM, J.C.

Re: Best 2x teleconvertor for smc pentax-a* 300/4
The L is better for lenses with the recessed rear element. But the S is also a very good optic and is the only conveyer that will work with lenses that don't have a deeply recessed rear element. I believe the A 300-4 requires the S version, as does the A400-5.6.

Re: Best 2x teleconvertor for smc pentax-a* 300/4
That's true in general, but there are specific exceptions. Pentax used to have a compatibility chart on their website. I'm not positive about the 300/4, but i think it's an S, like the 400/5.6.

Re: Best 2x teleconvertor for smc pentax-a* 300/4
I've got the A-1.4X-S, A1.4 X-L A2.0 X-L I very seldom use the 2.0X-L use the A-1.4X-S the most - on my 300mm f4.5 FA. I've shot both X-L convertors on my 600 FA with very good results. Both the X-L convertors will not fit my 300 f4.5 due to their extended length or 'nose' at the mounting flange- to-lens end which would contact the rear lens element can't be connected. I've never done any testing to see if the 1.4X-S is better or worse than the 1.4X-L. Kenneth Waller http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/kennethwaller - Original Message - From: J.C.

Re: Best 2x teleconvertor for smc pentax-a* 300/4
Pentax also has a 1.7 AF Convertor which is not bad. The 2x L will not work with the 300 A F4. You will have to use the 2x S. I have the 300 A F4 and I will use the 2x S or the 1.7 AF. I also sometime use a Vivitar 2x macro convertor..The L convertors are nice to use with the 300 mm F2.8 and the 200 mm F4.0 macroJoe I want to get a good 2x TC for my pentax a* 300/4 lens.
