The Tamron hood is significantly bigger than the Zuiko. It's a shame Tamron
didn't use the simple pull out hood like the Zuiko.
I recently had a surprising experience with a Tamron adaptall. The little
black coated tab that fits into the slot of the lens and is visible while
the adaptall is mounted was slightly bent. When I turned the aperture ring,
the meter wouldn't respond. I thought my batteries were bad. Looking
carefully I noticed that as the aperture ring was turned part of the
adaptall was also turning. It was easily fixed with a little thumb pressure.

had problems focusing to infinity. Also include the price of the Adaptall
mount and make sure you get the hood.
