Thanks... I have purchased a very nice Pentax A2X-S. I appreciate your input. For now it will be used with my 105 macro and 200 f4. I hope to get a 200 2.8 in the future, but I'll need to save my pennies. Thanks again. David

I have the A2X-S. I use it regularly with an A 400/5.6 and have used it with a K 400/5.6 as well. It's about as good as one could expect a teleconverter to be. You'll find an example here: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=971474 Paul On Oct 15, 2004, at 6:58 PM, Alan Chan wrote: Ther
