Eric, I've used two TC's: A2X-S and F 1.7X AF, both mostly for "macro" (or close-distance) shots.
Here is an example of my first use of the A2x-S (with a zoom - since you asked): http://www.komkon.org/~igor/PHOTOS/WildAnimalPark/IMGP5086w2.jpg It was shot with *istDS. For detail, see this old post of mine: http://www.mail-archive.com/pdml@pdml.net/msg387319.html (The link to the photo is updated here.) I like both TC's. However, since I got my hands on the 1.7X AF, I prefer it. The AF adds some convenience. (E.g. I tried it recently in Sydney with Rob's 300/2.8, while shooting surfers and it was nice! - I hope to use the upcoming break to work on the photo backlog.)
