Alternative explanation: f/6.9

I think the AF needs at least f/5.6 (effective f/stop with converter attached) to work properly.

Mine won't focus with a Tamron Adaptall 6.9 200-500mm !!
I guess it's never sharp enough?? Or is there any other explanation?
IOther than that I'm very impressed with this converter. I's actually a
brilliant piece of equipment.

I noticed my 1.7x AF converter doesn't autofocus with T-mount lenses.
It does autofocus with M-series lenses. The only difference I can
imagine is the K-mount on a M-series lens is electrical conductive and
the T-mount is made of (isolating) anodized Aluminium.
I feel temped to use fine abrasive paper to remove the anodized layer on an old T-mount or short circuit two or more contact on the K mount.
Would that make any difference? Maybe dangerous for the D body?
