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):

It was shot with *istDS.
For detail, see this old post of mine:

Neat, Igor. And thanks for the link to the thread, which made me chuckle.
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.)
Dumb question now. I think I know the answer without thinking about it very
hard. Nevertheless: Can a teleconverter add functionality to a lenses, e.g.,
give on-camera control of aperture to an M lens?
A properly designed one could, but any currently available? Err no.
The AF 1.7x adapter does add limited auto focus to even M42 .lenses however.
