These two just showed up:

Pentax A Rear Converter A 1.4X-L MINT Manual Focus Tele Extender w/ Orig. Case | eBay

Pentax A Rear Converter-A 2X-L Manual Focus SMC Tele Extender w/ Original Case | eBay

I would like to have both of these but that is a little too rich for my blood!

Hey, I do have some shots with the 400/2.8 + 1.4x-L TC from our zoo waiting to be processed and posted.

Thats what I have been waiting to see; your talent plus an 13lb piece of glass should make some Nat Geo photogs envious. Although I know that the 1.4xL has to degrade it some, I have many shots where I could never tell which had the TC and which didnt. Its the best combo I ever touched.

I haven't seen them in the webstore. Didn't think Pentax still made any TCs. If you find a link to them on on the webstore, could you please provide it to me?

Seems like the pre-Ricoh webstore said they were unavailable but this just says backordered and ships within 10 days. Enough speculation I know but how would it be if they resurrect some of these " * " quality products!!!
