Yes, I have the Kenko set with 12mm, 20mm and 36mm tubes; they work like a charm with my Canon gear. I'm sure they come in Nikon mounts too.
I use them with both the 50mm f/1.4 and the 70-200mm f/4 lenses. No AF problems with either.
The 100mm focal length is more useful; 50mm doesn't give quite enough working space but it's my best lens. Always tradeoffs...
