Thanks, Fred. I've used it a bit now, and am happy with it. I'm going to download the manual from Pentax, and I look forward to seeing yours go up on your site.
Shooting in the morning sun the past two days revealed no difficulty focusing a f5.6 or f8 (with a Kenko 1.5X TC), and I do plan on getting the Pentax 1.4X-L TC for the superior compatability, but I wonder about a 2X TC, going to F11. Will I need a searchlight to focus in cloudy weather?
