"New" T/C's?

[Leon Altoff]

Hi Patrick,

I've been watching this thread with interest as I'm looking for a good 
200mm+ zoom.  I've always thought the 70-200 f2.8 was too heavy and not 
quite long enough.  I've seen some really nice pictures from the Sigma 
100-300, but I've seen some with very annoying bokeh too that have put 
me off a little (I've noticed this with a few Sigma lenses).

Then I heard of the DA*60-250 and I thought it sounded "just right". 
Now I have to sit and wait for it to be available - and then for it to 
be available in Australia.  I'm hoping for some good 10MP examples with 
it before I can get my hands on it to prove that it's good.  A DA* lens 
should be very good shouldn't it?  Has Pentax made any duds in their 
high end lenses?
