It's pretty simple, Ric.? When I built the house, 50 yrs ago, I had a 
half-bath installed in the corner of my garage, for use when I was 
working outside.? I never got around to painting the blinds.? I just 
removed the screen.? I can open and close the sash and storm window.

I use my Olympus OMD E-M1 m4/3 body with an Olympus adapter to mount an 
original Olympus 4/3 50-200mm Autofocus lens.? The lens has a rotatable 
tripod foot, so there's no strain on the body. This is mounted on the 
only tripod I've ever owned, an old aluminum Star-D.

It may not be classy, but it works fine for me!
