Last Pentax made were the Refconverter A and M, both are still occasionally available as NOS or used on eBay. AFAIK they are discontinued. NOS usually goes for asking prices above € 300 on BuyNow, M versions show up from time to time, A is very rare from my observations. Difference: A shows full frame viewfinder plus some extra space for aperture/speed etc indicators, M is without the extra space but still comfortably big enough for an APS-C viewfinder plus control infos. I have two M versions and I am very happy with them, they have diopter adjustment as well as a magnification switch. I bought the scond one as a spare but it turns out they are so well built I won't be needing to replace the first one any time soon...
