I know from old threads that the 70-200mm f/2.8 AF-S lens works well with the x1.4 teleconverter. Does anyone have any experience of how well the 70-300 works with it or the even the x1.7?

Thanks

The short answer is: It doesn't. It's too slow, and on top of that the rear-element of the lens and the glass on the TC will touch and this is a very bad thing.

That about sums it up. It won't work, and it'll probably scratch/break something.
