tele converter for the sigma 50-150 2.8

I looked on the sigma site and it tells me there is no t/c for pentax with this lens? Is there an alternative?
cheers

I'm not 100% sure but wouldn't this t/c work? Or at least something similar?

Yes, the 1.7x AF-A would work, but it would require the user to manually focus close to the correct focus and then the engage the AF of the 1.7x AF-A itself.

As far as I know, there aren't any Sigma auto-focus TCs that are compatible with the Sigma HSM motors.

Oh yeah, forgot about the HSM motor. Good point!
