Last fall B&H had the Vello auto lens adapter Canon EF/EF-S lens to micro four thirds mount in one of the 24 hour sales for $99.00 it is regular price was $299.00. I purchased it and have used it with both the 100 macro 2.8 L and the 100-400 L 11 lens. Both manual and auto focus works on the EM1-mk3 with both lens.

I have mine set for double magnification. You set the buttons thru the menu system on the camera, on the em1 mark 2 & 3's in the gear menu section B1 is where you assign button functions. Once set this function will work for all the M.Zuiko pro lenses.

You can check out the travelwisconsin.com website it will have a fall color map and some scenic drives locations.

I have the cc version of Lightroom & Photoshop, Elements 14, and Luminar.

I use Lightroom mostly, but do some editing in Luminar.

I am taking a Elements class now and have not used it that much.

Luminar is currently a Mac only software, but it real easy to use, powerful with good results.

Go to the Macphun website and you can the training videos.

I agree I use it for larger animals Deer, Coyote, Herons, Sandhill cranes that are stationary and not moving fast. It does not work well for BIF

I use a Manfrotto 222c pistol grip sometimes with my 100-400, on my monopod. I had the quick release plate replace with a conversion kit to arcca swiss. I have no issues with this set up.

I purchased a conversion package for a Manfrotto 222 pistol grip head. This package replaced the quick release plate to a arca swiss compatible plate. It is a quality product at a good price and was shipped promptly. I would certainly purchase another product from him if needed.

I purchased the 12 month pre paid membership from Amazon and received a activation card in the mail with the activation code which is a combination of 24 numbers and letters. I have a current plan and went to my account in the adobe cc app and entered the code and my plan was updated for another year, no problems at all.

I also would be interested in the seminar in 2015. Please put me on the contact list.

You could try this restaurant in Lake Bluff, IL. which is close to Great Lakes that has great deep dish pizza the name of the restaurant is the Silo Restaurant.
