So are you using  the PL with the diopters not at infinity?   Many older zooms 
seemed to perform best  with diopters used like that but no clue with the PL 
100-400. Not sure if you tried your Minolta 0 lower power one but then using 
some of the
internal extension on the PL to achieve higher mag?  Again JS had said he did 
not like any diopter greater than 1.0 on a 300mm lens (FF).  Perhaps PL Minolta 
diopter combo is better for lower mag but the lens itself can go to 0.25 
natively.

I was away when you posted yet another detailed fly image  using the  mcon-PO2 
with the GM-5 and the tiny 35-100.  That seemed to work very well but I only 
viewed the image on my phone.  I wonder what power diopter that is?--I suspect 
in the 2 range but don't really know.
While traveling I would put some extension on that same lens which works well 
but is a tad slower and fussier.  Can't say I chased too many flies in the alps.

No fly zone,  puzzled with all the permutations , Mike
