I can't speak for the Tamron, but the Zuiko 80/4 is optimized for 1:1
operation, unlike most other lenses that merely allow you to focus that
close. For example, the Zuiko 50/3.5 macro is optimized for a 1:10
reproduction ratio.

It does not operate without some extension. At 1:1, it allows about 50mm or
so of working distance -- 80mm from the nodal point, less the length of the
lens. If you like, I can measure and give you an exact distance. It should
work fine with the T28.
