Thanks for the heads-up on the 1.4x vs 1.7x converters. I would imagine that a new FF converter is on the drawing boards right now, but in the meantime this means that the used market on these is going to take a big jump. I just snagged an EXC+ one from KEH for $239, which is about 50% less than they were going for before the 1.4x was introduced. I have the feeling that the 1.7x will be in the upper 300s and lower 400s very soon - once MORE people realize this.
I don't plan on being an early adopter of the K-1, but that is one piece that will be valuable regardless (including on my K-3 II).
