Well, the OM list at its best... I posted my question at 16:59 (my
time), and got 8 answers between 17:26 and 18:27, i.e. within rougly
1hour and a half... Amazing.
So... it seems that the consensus is that it does not really matter
in which order you mount the teleconverter/lens to the body. So I
will continue to do it "converter + lens first", since it is much
more convenient for me. And not feel guilty any more at doing so ;-)

I guess that to avoid any problem with levers, while still mounting
the "combo" first, the easiest would be to mount the converter on the
body first, then the lens, then to remove the "combo" and keep it
that way.
Thanks to all !
