With a genuine EOS 2x converter, I would prefer the alternative,
disengaging the converter from the camera ever so slightly....just
enough for the camera to think there is no EOS/EF lens mounted, and
not enough to loose mechanical stability (but DO remember it is
disengaged....it's very tempting to grab lens+camera together,
thinking they are locked solid).
