In my case, the HD DA 1.4 accurately produces the correct focal length. My F 1.7x AF converter aways asks for input... only my Tamron 2x PZ botches the focal length. But that TC is only used on my Tamron 300 2.8 with the K-1, and is heavy enough it's always on tripod. So it rarely if ever affects my images. I tend to forget about the FL until I see the exif.
It does take a very sharp lens to look good with a 2x converter on it.
Originally posted by MossyRocks Of all the converters that I don't own the 1.7x one that give AF does somewhat peak my interest as that give that old 400 some autofocus functionality.
That's the guy you want. For my Tamron 300 2.8 it give me 500 4.5, for a fraction the price of a 500 4.5. With the 400 it will give you 680 4.5, that's over 1000mm equivalent on a K-3.
