Bernard,
        Perhaps it varies by manufacturer, but the Tamron site instructs you
to mount the teleconverter to the lens first, then attach them to the
camera. See here:

I remember having read somewhere that a teleconverter should be 
mounted on the camera first, then the lens on the teleconverter, to 
ensure proper coupling. However, I do not see any difference in the 
speed displayed in the viewfinder, whether I mount the teleconverter 
first, then the lens, or the teleconverter-lens combo in one piece. 
And intend using this lens most of the time with the teleconverter, 
that would avoid me fiddling with the caps.

What would you say is _the right way_ (hmmm, let's limit the 
discussion to the right way for teleconverter mounting, right?) - if 
there is any ?
