The Pentax 1.7x AF adapter does alter the maximum aperture information;it shows my 300/2.8 wide open as f4.5
Very interesting! thanks john. Godfrey
But it's the exception; I don't know of any other TCs that do this. Afull AF TC, with the digital signal pin contact, is unlikely to be able to change aperture information; Pentax haven't released a specificationfor how lens-to-body digital signals are encoded.
