I am looking at two Adaptall 2 mounts, as fitted on the lens, with the red
dot at 12 o'clock. One of the mounts has a screw at 4 o'clock, while the
other has this screw at 3 o'clock (both mounts have other screws at 12, 6
and 8 - they don't matter). The 3 o'clock screw fouls the button which sits
at 9 o'clock on the OM3/4 lens mount (as you look into the camera, and the
risk is that it will shear the tip off this button. Both mounts are marked
"OL", so it is not conclusive to judge by the marking on the mount.
However, my 3 o'clock mount has the screw head filled with an epoxy filler
so that the surface of the mount is smooth - I have no problem using this on
a 4T.
I do not believe there is any such problem with the 2n body, which does not
have the button on the lens mount (but I only have a 2S to look at - it
doesn't have the button either)

PS My thanks to John, Carlos and Mickey for your responses to my question on
this button. Emboldened by your confirmations, I took a dressmaker's pin to
the camera, and coaxed the button into action!

Subject: [OM] Want to sell your Tamron zoom?
I am considering buying one of the following lenses, if you have one that,
you are willing to part with or know where I can find one, please contact me
off the list.
Tamron SP 60-300/3.8-5.4
Tamron two-touch 70-210 SP f3.5-4
Tamron SP 80-200/2.8
Also which Adaptall mount do I need that will work with an OM4T and OM2n? (I
remember list members mentioned about some sort of screw that could break
something on the camera body)
