Teleconverters will only work with Pro Constant-Aperture glass. As well, they're only really worth it on long telephotos (70-200VR, 300 f/2.8 or f/4, 400 f/2.8, 500/600 f/4). The 1.4x Teleconverter is rock-solid across the board, the 1.7 is decent, but the TC-20E has too much degradation for my taste (and the taste of a lot of other photographers). Also be aware that you lose a stop of shooting speed and that AF speed is also reduced because of the lack of light.
In short: If you're using consumer glass (18-70, 18-125, 70-300, etc.) it won't work. If you're using any focal length below 200mm or so there's no point. And avoid the TC-20E.

I borrowed my gf's 50mm f/1.2 lens from her old F3 this past weekend. It's amazing that the older cameras used to come with this lens considering that it's a $500 lens nowadays. The following picture is just for test but the shallow depth of field is amazing. The manual focusing isn't a big deal but my main gripe with it is that my camera doesn't meter with it. It took me a few tries with the shutter speed to get the right exposure.
