I believe that most 3rd party lenses focus in the same direction as Zuikos;
however, I have recently had two versions of the Tamron 70-150/3.5, where
the first version (model 21A) focusses like a zuiko, and the next version
(model 21AB) focusses in the opposite direction (like a Nikkor maybe).

Sincerely,
Roger Key



Just checked 3 Tamrons, 3 Tokinas and a Kiron of various vintages and
all focus with the same directional motion as Zuikos.
