I also use the Pentax 1.7X AF adapter, and it works very well with this
lens, as you wrote. The other AF converter I have used with this lens is
the Kenko 1.5X AF (4 elements).
It also works well, and the results are good, until you compare them
with the photos taken with the Pentax 1.7X. The difference in the image
sharpness is really noticeable, in favour of the Pentax converter.
