The T10 and T28 Macro ring will fit the 90/2.5 Tamron, which has 49mm thread
- but ideally via a 49mm filter, as the Tamron otherwise will not focus to
'infinty' (which may be somewhat less than infinity if you have an extension
tube fitted). That sounds like the self same solution that you have for the
later Tamron, Walt.
Your wise counsel as to life's necessity is, of course, unimpeachable.

Subject: [OM] Re: which marco flash?
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.
