Will this teleconverter work with the k100d?

Hi!

I'm bidding on this teleconverter (Ricoh 2x Macro Focusing Teleconverter Pentax KA Mount), but received a message from the seller that states:

"Hi,

This information is regarding the Ricoh 2X macro teleconverter that you currently have the highest bid.

I was informed by an eBayer that this converter only supports program modes on Ricoh bodies. Unfortunately I can not change the description or title any more. If you already have bid on the item, you can either ask me to remove your bid, or you can retract the bid yourself. My sincere apologies for the mis-information.

Yu-Lin"

Should I retract my bid?

Thanks

Deni

I wouldn't bid on it.
Even if it fits your bajonett (which is not clear, Ricoh pin), it will be fully manual, because it is a helicoid converter. It has no contacts.

But it sure is a nice piece of craftsmanship. If you love manual work, wh not? You have to remove the Ricoh pin though.

I intend to use it with a super takumar 50/1.4 which is a manual lens. I just read about the ricoh pin and it didn't look like a complicated procedure.

Any other issue I should take into account?
