Hi Ryan,
I have used the AF1.7x + Sigma 70-200/2.8 combo (on a Z-1p -
just once, though).
The results were really good for the kind of situation (typical
PJ work, a subject around 7m in front of me, lens at 200mm and
flash), quite sharp and contrasty. I plan to do other testing of
the combo, but I'm quite sure it will perform very well.
When the 70-200 is mounted, though, the camera doesn't show the
effective F stop (the 1.7x allows that when coupled with Pentax
brand lenses). I should check if it is a body issue or it is
just a minor flaw of the lens.
Ciao,
Gianfranco
