The Adaptall(-1) OM mount and lenses are fully functional with OM bodies,
besides the lack of DOF-preview lever. You may also mix them with their
Adaptall-2 equivalents.
The Adaptall-2 was developed for some other mounts (eg. Can*n, Nik*n) which
provide more information to the body (like absolute maximum aperture).
Since the OM bodies don't need this extra information, the Adaptall-1
system will work fine. However, that's not the case for other brands. For
instance, there were *six* models (for the six typical max. apertures of
Tamron lenses) of the Can*n-FD Adaptall-1 mount -- BTW incompatible with
Adaptall-2 lenses/mounts!
Enjoy,
