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!
