Well, I thought a quick review of this configuration should have its own folder.
If you are on a budget, the Nikon 300mm f4 AF is the best value for the money. Used, the older version is a steal. Ask Marcel. I believe it is even better than the lens I am showing off here, the more current, Nikon 300mm f4D.

Nikon 300mm f/4 AF Review
You can typically find them online for sale for around $600. If you find one in good shape, BUY IT! I believe it takes slightly sharper pictures than the newer model and I can only hazard a guess at why, it has slightly larger glass. The new lens doesn't seem to have the same bite, for lack of a better description.
Here are some sample images of the newer, D model, which is what I am using now, with the Teleconverter attached. This gives me a focal length of 420mm in FX mode. These are all shot in FX mode.
