I have all the macro flashes, as well as the cross polarizing filter for the 
T10.  It is my recommendation, and a necessity if you intend to remain in good 
standing here, that you obtain all of them too.  Then you must start on getting 
all the macro lenses.  :-)

Take note, though, that neither the T28 shoe, T8 or T10 will screw directly 
into that Tamron -- at least not into the 90/2.8.  (I don't know about the 
older 90/2.5 since I don't have one.)  Its nose is too fat to accommodate the 
Olympus flashes since they all are intended to attach to either 49mm or 55mm 
filter threads, thus being designed to fit lenses with front threaded parts 
only a couple of millimeters thick, like the Zuikos.

The solution:  Dig through the bargain bins at your friendly neighorhood 
pusher's emporium and get a couple of 55mm filters, remove the glass, screw 
them together, and then the Oly macro flashes will fit.
