Lens info settings when using a teleconverter

My Pentax Rear Converter-A 2X arrives today and my question is, what focal length do you input on my K-30? Do you just double the lens length? I'll be using my A-135 2.8 mostly. And if I'm using a zoom I imagine you need to change settings if you zoom in or out?

Thanks!

Yes, unless you're using the new pentax 1.4, you have to update it manually and if you're using a 2x, it's 2x the distance, or as close as you can manage. You may have to do 275 or something instead of 270.

You set it to 2 times the FL, or 270mm. So you'd set 250 or 300 as the FL on the camera - usually 250.

The zoom will be trickier, as you'll need to select an average, or else change the camera setting each time you zoom in or out.
