RE: teleconverter 2x
Grips are easy to imitate. Sure it doesn't say APS? Then it would be the old name for Kenko.

Out side markings as follows: N.P.S. 2x converter lens made in japa It does not say Pentax on it anywere but it has the same knarl grip the Taks have so i think it might be as he rarely bought 3rd party. My ??? is,does the converter affect the meter reading of the camera(screwmount conveter so using SP500 or the SP or S3)or will the meter give a proper output. Also will it softenmy primes or should they stay fairly sharp.

That's just a guess, though. to the best of my (somewhat extensive) knowledge, Pentax made no teleconverters in m42 mount. I never heard of any back when I was amassing them a few years ago for my ultra-tele experiments. Bill - Bill D.

Also will it softenmy primes or should they stay fairly sharp. A TTL meter (like the one in the Spotmatics) will take the TC into account when determining exposure, so you don't need to compensate. If you're using a clip-on meter with a camera like the meterless S3, then you need to add compensation... usually a stop or two. Any extra glass will soften your lenses.
