The f numbers you are showing are the lens value not the actual f number - correct? Meaning with the 1.4x when the lens reads f/5.6 the actual f stop is f/8, etc.

Does the K5 have a magnified live view option? I don't think it does - that may help. I'm interested in this topic as it shows that in the baseline practical use the operator makes more difference perhaps than the device.

Is it possible that there is a difference in the focus point or is that already verified to be accurate. This is a stunning result. Lovely detail with the APO converter.

I too have shot the FA* 80-200 f/2.8 in what I thought were torture conditions and gotten no CA/PF. I shot it against my DA* 200 f/2.8 and the DA* showed CA/PF but not the FA*; I no longer have the FA* since I sold it but that experience was an eye opener to me. I wonder if the FA* that was reviewed was typical or not.
As for TC's - I would love to see the Pentax HD AW 1.4x in this testing mix.
I need to do some tests myself. I have the FA* 300 f/4.5 and the Pentax A series 1.4x as well as the HD 1.4x - the HD is on loan to my dad at the moment however.
