So what recommendations, I'm thinking a 2x might be a bit overkill, perhaps a 1.4 or 1.7 though. So, Nikon or Sigma (or other!), and where's a good place to get one from?

I use a Kenko 1.4 DG AF Pro 300 TC and am very pleased with it. I believe the same model is sold under the Tamron brand too but not sure of the model number.
