Hello,

This is my first post to this list, so I hope I won't misbehave ; I tried to 
read through the archives to get a feeling, and to see if the question I have 
wasn't already answered anywhere.

So, I bought, used, a decade ago a zoom labeled  :
TAMRON-F 35-100 1:3.5-4.3 MACRO 63°-24° ø55

Macro ratio is 1:4, F/stop range from 3.5 (dot at 4.3) to 22.

The zoom is quite good, but I can't find it reviewed anywhere, not even with 
the help of Mr. Piers Hemy page 
[http://www.hemy.me.uk/Miscellany/TamronMFLenses.htm]

Not that I cared that much, until recently, but I stumbled on this one :
http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/olympusom1n2/shared/zuiko/htmls/35105mm.htm

Mine looks *exactly* the same, except for the DoF button (laking on the 
tamron's mount), and painting colors ; dimensions are the same, mm for mm.
The mount is neither a T nor and adptall one, it's a plain OM without DoF 
tester.

Does anybody knows this zoom, and where I can find infos on it. Is it a 
blatant counterfeit by Tamron ? Can the Tamron be compared to the zuiko  ?
