Over in another discussion forum, Cosmicnode asked if anyone had tried using a Nikon AF-P 70-300 VR DX lens with a Kenko TC on an FX camera, would it work, and if so, how well?!

The idea of using a tele converter to increase lens coverage is certainly an interesting one, but I was surprised to discover quite how old it was. As far back as the Photokina exhibition of 1970 Sigma was showing a product called the "Imagextender", a 3x converter for fitting 35mm SLR lenses (M42 or Nikon) to Bronica or Rollei 6x6cm medium format SLRs. There's a picture and a little more information here:

As far as I can remember, though, neither this or the 36-105mm f/2.8 zoom lens shown attached ever made it to market...
