Pentax F 1.7x AF teleconverter -LIVES AGAIN!

[Ahren]

And this thread lives again.....

I actually brought this TC to the Wessex estate outings but totally forgot about it. Thus, did not had a chance to let anyone try.

Not sure if will be going to the Little India outing...the CO is on my case now due to having much work travelling this days. If I do go...will bring it along.

Yodobashi in akiba sold (yes, sold...because I bought the last piece last week...haha) but from what i understood, they can make orders with Pentax Square (the Pentax showroom) in Shinjuku for more and it will take between 1 - 2 weeks. Or just go directly to Pentax Square lar. Ditto with the rest of the parts/accessories.

it's very unlikely Emjay will bring this in due to demand/cost issue...they even had problems getting back to me when i asked them for help to get the rubber cover for the grip connector on the k20d (they "forgot" to call me back...twice). In the end, i bought the last 2 pieces of the cover from Pentax Square last week. hehehehe...what i regret is i forgot to get the original m42->k adaptor...just slipped my mind. A pity when you know the prices these things go for in JP (retail) when compared to ebay and local shops.

how much is it sold in JP (retail)?

don't wish to disclose the price in the forum so check your PM. let's just say that it's worth buying if you are there as a lot of the prices we pay are greatly affected by supply and demand...take away the supply aspects of the equation and the prices will follow accordingly.
