I tend to be a photographer first and a birder second...I'm not that good at ID in the field so I use the photos...

I started out with a K-x and a Promaster 100-400 F4.5-6.7, switched to the DA L 55-300, switched to the K-5, switched to the 150-500 in 2014. These photos cover that range...

I don't know about the K-3, I used that combo with my K-5. I only stopped using it because I got the 150-500...I bought a HD 55-300 when B&H was doing the half off sale last year because I wanted something that was lighter and WR sometimes, but I don't have the TC anymore.

The Vivitar always got along with my DA L 55-300...The 55-300 wouldn't focus at longer focal lengths with the 2x...

Because it's $500...If you want to go the TC route look for the Vivitar Series 1 1.4x or the Kenko 1.5x (they are the same thing). The Tamron 1.4x PZ-AF MC4, same optical design as the other 2 but with PZ contacts.

Kenko (?Promaster et al..) AF/Pz-AF 1.4x/1.5x Teleplus.... Lens Reviews - Miscellaneous Lenses - Pentax Lens Review Database

I think you'd be happier with the Sigma 120-400 or 150-500. If you aren't pairing the 1.4 with the DA/FA* 300 or 150-450 it just isn't worth it.
