Hello Titoy
The "adaptall" lenses made by Tamron are designed to use an adaptor to allow
the same lens to be used on many different cameras. The linkages between
camera and lens are fully functional with this system. While there may be
some exceptions, as far as I know the OM mount Zuiko lenses can only be used
on OM bodies. If adaptors are possible it is unlikely that infinity focus
and full aperture metering would be possible.
Cheers
Philip

Hi Philip
Just want to know what the "adaptall" is all about. THough I know a bit to
say it will allow one to combine a lens and body of different types, is
there such an adapter that will mount our Zuikos on all sorts of cameras?
What other moedern camera bodies can we mount a Zuiko using such adapters. I
am interested because the new camera bodies have seem to have better
electronics and flash modes.
Regards
Titoy
