Larry, it doesn't truly work with autofocus lenses you get the same
limitations with them as when using K M and A lenses, but the AF 1.7x
works very well as a teleconverter, better than just cropping, anyway.
I think they're still part of the Pentax system available in Japan.
They occasionally show up new at B&H and Adorama, though you're more
likely to find it used. The only way to tell if an converter is better
than simply cropping is look at the images.

Also, is there an easy way to tell when, or which, teleconverter is
sharper than just cropping a photo? Is there a list of good or bad
ones? Or since there are only one or two that will work with
autofocus, the question is answered?
