I can't believe you won't be happy with the Tamron. Sharp, good contrast
and great handling with very smooth and responsive single touch control.
The extra speed is quite a benefit. Weighs 650g vs. the 470g of the
Zuiko, but less than the 875 of the 27-105.
The Adaptall2 is quite easy to install on the lens and then the lens is
just like any other for camera mounting. I have several Adaptall lenses
and keep adapters on them all so I don't have to fuss with them. I
assume you know the bit about geting the right version of the Adaptall2
mount and/or filling the screw hole on the wrong one.

Reason for the Tamron Adaptall II question:
Got home late Friday night and promptly ordered a Tamron 35-105/2.8 SP
with OM adaptall II that I had spotted on the internet about a week
ago. The 35-105/2.8 is the slightly smaller predecessor to the
current 28-105/2.8 Tamron SP. Reason? See the "fun and festivities
below."

Hoping the 35-105/2.8 Tamron is acceptable optically and its speed
makes life easier.
