Help with Tele converter

Prox-iee · 01-20-2010, 05:34 PM

Okay, so I bought a ton of lenses on ebay for $200 (including a near-mint smc-a 70-210! woo!). The seller threw in seven manual tele-converters of various brands and conditions. Most are dusty, but I can clean them up with the lens wipes he also threw in. The brands are:

Vivitar Automatic Tele Converter 2x-22 (google value is $10)
Vivitar MC Tele Converter 2x-22
Toya Optics Auto Tele Converter 2x For PK w/ Case
Calman Auto Tele Converter 2x for Pentax-K (google[ebay] value is $230...doubt it)
Quantaray 7 Element Auto Tele Converter 2x MC For P/K
Promaster Spectrum 7 Auto Tele Converter MC For PK (google[ebay] value is $50)

and one that bluntly says "Focal MC PK 2X Converter". No company name. But it has the sticker "20-06-75" on it.

I never use them. Ever. So I was thinking of sell thing them. The problem is I don't know what they're worth. The pentax fourm lens review doesnt have these in it.

If there are no other references of prices online for these TCs, they could be guessed anywhere between $10 and $50. They really wouldn't be worth much as MF TCs.

Thanks ash. I'm hoping to get a least just $20 from a couple. (I'm $26 short from getting a medium format lens)
