Sorry, but I'm now confused.
I have a Tamron 500 mirror with a 4 screw mount simply showing OL Japan.
I've never had problems with this (over 15 years) and the black thingamebob
is still pointy..
Two weeks ago I bought a Tamron 35-80 Macro, 3 screw mount with Tamron for
Olympus Om written on it. I ran a film through with this and had a LOT of
underexposure problems when it came back...
I've an old OM4 but looking carefully I can't see how the screws on either
mount can interfere with the black plastic thingamebob...
Regards
Ian

The 'good' Adaptall-2 just says 'OL' on the mount; no modification
necessary.
The 'bad' Adaptall-2 says 'for Olympus OM'. If you have this one, you need
to fill in the screw hole that will slide over the little rubber 'thingy'
on the camera lens mount (and maybe shear it off) when you mount the lens
on the camera. On the 'OL' mount the offending screw hole was repositioned
to avoid conflict with the 'thingy'.

Any good way for me to tell which adapter I just bought? And will the
appropriate and non-offensive variety fit my lens?
