I had a Tamron 1.4x BBAR SP Adaptall on my Tamron 80-200 for a while and it was
nice, especially for $60.00. The Zuiko 1.4x that I once had beat it hands
down, but that's what you get for $400.
As mentioned, the Tamron adaptall converter, fitting between the main lens and
the adaptall mount, is a bit of a PITA to mount. The Zuiko, with a traditional
mounting regimen, is much easier.
