A bicycle inner tube is probably too thick to use with the 80-200/2.8. The
80-200 is slightly larger than the Olympus lenses. Black electricians tape
works well.
I posted some pictures of both the Tamron and Olympus tripod adapters a
while back. I am biased but everyone can draw their own condlussions as to
which is best.

Happily, I have a couple of old bicycle inner tubes lying around, so I might
try that. I also have a couple of files so it won't matter if it doesn't
work.
