Is this teleconverter any good at all?

I've got a chance to pick this up for peanuts, and was wondering if it's worth trying on my D70?

I think you need this version of the Tamron.

Whew, I'm glad one of us is awake. Thanks for the help. I almost made a big mistake.

I have a Kenko Teleplus like John G recommended, which I use with my 180mm f/2.8. It does not soften the image at all, but does lower the contrast. No problem, I add a bit in post.

This is the version that I recently purchased. It will work with both AFS and non AFS lenses. I haven't done critical testing but cannot see a degradation in image quality with my 300 f4. It does slow down focusing a bit, but I was still able to do birds in flight with it attached, handheld. Haven't tried it yet on my 80-200 afd.
