<< Well, sorry for taking so long to get my 2 mounts tested. I did it
today with my OM-4, and, I'm sorry to say, my results are the opposite
of the above, i.e. the mount labelled "OL Japan" is the bad one, whereas
the "ADAPTALL 2 for OLYMPUS OM JAPAN" works fine.
I don't have a logical explanation why my results are different from
other Zuiks who tried this. Hmm, a Tamron mystery ... >>
How about this for a theory: maybe Tamron assembled Olympus adapters from a
"mixed bag" of parts, or did a gradual transition using up some parts before
others, so that the labeling on the mount might not be a 100% accurate guide
to "safety." I'm sure that the two "Japan OL" mounts I have are safe (I've
looked at them several times in the last few days), and also sure that the one
"Adaptall 2" inscribed mount that I had but returned was not safe.
I guess for the time being we'll just have to scrutinize each mount carefully
for screw placement.
Best wishes to all :-)
