I bought this same lens LNIB with all the packaging and instructions.
The 1:1 adaptor that came in the box is just an extension tube.
The 2x flat-field adaptor (which I also own, bought separately)
is a different item. As far as I know, it is matched to the
Tamron macro zoom, not the 90. Because the 1:1 adaptor is just an
extension tube, you could use OM tubes instead.
Tubes are a nuisance and I would always rather have
a lens that focuses closely by itself. Modern macro lenses
go to 1:1 without tubes. The Zuiko 90mm f/2 doesn't, but is
a stop faster.
