I am prepared to pay more for quality. Honestly, if it is something I am going to have and keep for years and years, I am not at all disappointed in investing a couple hundred dollars, or even more than that in some cases. My DA* lenses are my favorites and weather sealing is a great reason to get the teleconverter. My current lens line up though doesn't really need a teleconverter so I may pick one up... just maybe later in the year or next year.
I need to pick up the 60-250mm though. That and the battery grip.
