THanks for the comment. I have narrowed down my choices to two; The MK Controls Lightrning Bug and the MIOPS Smart Plus
The MK Controls Lightning Bug II was recommended by the leader of the storm chasing workshop that I attended. The learning curve was short and I got a bunch of good shots. Setting the sensitivity was trial and error and depended on the situation, but I found it a big help in capturing lightning, especially in the daytime.

This is a popular macro lens (1:1 image size on sensor). It has fixed 100 mm focal length, but has variable f-stop with 2.8 being the largest opening. And it is image-stabilized.

I'm more than happy with my Paintshop Pro 2022 and Aftershot Pro 3 from Corel that I own without a subscription. It does everything I need and more.

I have a photo printer but would like to have larger (24X36 max) prints. Would anyone have any companies that they would recommend?
I've had at least two dozen 16x24 prints done by Nations Photo Lab. Send them the data online and in a couple days they'll have it back in the mail on its way to you. Very satisfied with their quality and service.

I've used a WD My Passport Wireless Pro on several occasions. It's self contained, has SD card slot and I have set it so that it automatically copies contents of the card when the card is inserted. Have never lost an image and transfer to my desk top is fairly quick with a cable.

This is just a curiosity question. From watching Shark Tank I've seen that there is usually a very big difference between a manufacturer's cost and a retailer's selling price. At least that has to be the case in order to get offers from the sharks. Does anyone know what the total markup is for DSLR and Mirrorless cameras?
Years ago, I worked for one of the large West Coast Test and Measurement companies, ie oscilloscopes, etc. Their rule of thumb was that the retail price was 4X the manufacturing cost. Of course, volume purchasers could negotiate discounts from that.

For an EOS 80D, it looks like $10 gets software that runs on some Apple systems and can determine an EOS 80D. https://shuttercheck.app/
If there's an Apple version, there's probably a Windows version too. Check all the specs, including OS version and supported camera models, before buying shuttercheck or any other software.

I use the free eosmsg utility. Ran it just now on my 80D with the results shown below.

We visited three years ago. I took a total of 76GB of images. I just went thru 27 directories that encompass those images and randomly chose one image per directory. Of the 27 images, 23 were at 50mm and wider and only four were longer than 50mm. I was using a Canon 80D and the 18-135mm lens the entire time. The focal length you will shoot at will depend on the type of subjects you like to shoot, but I didn't feel at all limited by this kit.

The lens itself "took a tumble"...If I was to take a lens that had a mishap, I wouln't be worried about filter threads primarily, bu the super fine internal settings and exacting distances the lenses have to be calibrated to. Replacing or repairing the front filter ring would be the least of my worries
Lens function is normal. Images taken after the "tumble" appear to be unaffected, even under close inspection.

I think the OP is saying the threads on the lens, not the filter, were deformed.
Correct!
