Tokina makes dedicated mount lenses only. No adapters. Tamron made the
adaptall system. One lens, fittable to any body with the appropriate
adaptall mount attached. Tamron also makes dedicated mount lenses. Muddies
the water. If you find a Tokina lens you like, you'll have to find it in OM
mount. Find a Tamron lens (adaptall), and if you've got the adaptall OM
mount, you can use the lens.
Hope this helps.
