Item Description Kenko 1.5X Pz-AF Teleplus SHQ Teleconverter OK, I've managed to get 5 more of these popular converters in mint condition. These will be sold on a "first come, first served" basis. Item condition: - New, but no manufacturer's warranty. - No fingerprints, smears, etc. on optics. - No fungus or fogging on optics. (Internal and external) - All functions operate normally and smoothly. - No scratches or rub marks on barrel. - No visible dust inside the lens, but there may be some if you really look hard for it. Item description:
This converter is suitable for all digital and 35mm film SLR cameras, which has a Pentax K-mount.
- The converter has contacts for auto exposure(AE) and auto focus(AF). It also has contacts for Power Zoom which also powers SDM lenses.
I have read reliable reports that say the SDM lenses works with this converter but I cannot confirm it because I don't own one to test.
- As the name suggests, this converter will increase the effective focal length by 1.5X. For example, if you use it in conjunction with a 200mm lens, then you will get an effective focal length of 300mm.
- Dimensions: 66mm diameter x 23mm long.
- Weight: Approximately 105g.
- As with most teleconverters, it works best with telephoto lenses, both prime and zoom types. Please note that you will loose 1 stop of light when you use the teleconverter. That is, a 200mm F2.8 lens will effectively become a 300mm F4 lens.
Other included items:
- This converter comes complete with both front and rear caps, soft pouch, instruction manual (Japanese), warranty certificate (no warranty), and box as per original package.

Return Policy & Additional Details
Hi,
I'm new to the forum but not to photography.
I have also started selling some photo gear only recently. Please check my eBay feedback (eBay ID: tom1803). You'll see that whilst I don't have many feedbacks yet, the ones I have received are all positive. My descriptions are accurate and I ship promptly.
I also have a few entries in the Pentax Photo Gallery if you would like to take a look.
Cheers,
Tom Onishi
