Exactly!  While I may be a whiz kid at putting them on and taking
them off, at least according to the opinions of others here who
seem to think it a far more complicated procedure than do I, I
still have an OM mount more or less permanently affexed to each of
my six Tamron lenses.  I just don't like to have to fiddle in the
field with such unnecessary tasks as changing them.  And brand new
Adaptall-2's are only $32.50 apiece, which is the solution if
there's any question about the quality or screw head hazards of
any of the older ones.  Of course, there's always epoxy, too.  :-)
