I have cut your reference to the E-500 and the Digital Zuiko lenses, as they
are irrelevant to your question, and invite the apparently unwelcome comment
about overlap and duplication.
Based on my experience of four of the Tamron SP lenses in your second list
(and three that you don't list) I am confident that they are very high
quality lenses, capable of excellent results, at very reasonable prices.
I no longer have a Tamron 90mm lens, and therefore cannot test it myself on
a digital body, but I believe others have found that the flat rear element
causes reflections off the sensor, making it unsuitable for use on a digital
body. But it appears you already have the lens, so you could test for that
yourself.
You do have duplication in your list, because you Tamron SP 90mm and 60-300
lenses in your second list are the same lenses as those in your first list.
I point this out not to score a point, but to help you waste time effort and
money on getting the same thing again. Apart from this, you also list two
different 300mm lenses, and there is overlap between the zooms and the
primes - but I assume this is deliberate.
You will also need to get an Olympus MA-1 adapter and as many Adaptall-2
mounts for OM as you think you will need - you could make do with one of
each, switching them between lenses as needed, but I recommend one
Adaptall-2 per lens. If you really want to make things easy, get one MA-1
per lens.
And finally, I note that a 500mm lens no longer figures on your list - I
think thatis probably the right decision. Can I therefore assume that you
do not want to buy the lens I offered you, as I haven't heard definitively
from you concerning the lens since 5 February.
