Swarovski TLS APO Apochromat 43mm for ATX/STX

Photography with the highest focal lengths using the Swarovski TLS APO 43 mm for ATX/STX spotting scopes
Photography of breathtaking moments in the highest perfection and in impressively compact dimensions with the Swarovski TLS APO, the Apochromat Telephoto Lens System for ATX/STX spotting scopes. The modularity of the Swarovski ATX/STX spotting scopes not only offers unparalleled observation possibilities but also opens new horizons in the world of digiscoping.

The TLS APO 43mm for ATX/STX, specifically designed for cameras with full-frame sensors, enables photography of the highest quality and offers a wide range of variables. With higher settings of ISO number and exposure time on full-frame sensors, diverse possibilities in digiscoping arise. Even under the darkest conditions on the forest floor or in dense underbrush, impressive images can still be captured with this combination.

More than an adapter
The TLS APO adapters for ATX/STX are more than just simple digiscoping adapters. Inside these adapters lies a precisely tuned apochromat, making them true digiscoping lenses – specifically designed to capture breathtaking photographs through a spotting scope.

Thanks to the intelligent design of the TLS adapters, one can effortlessly switch between observation and photography or video recording. Simply attached to the eyepiece module of the ATX/STX spotting scope and secured with a small hand movement, a stable and tilt-proof unit is created. This makes it almost child’s play to capture moving animals or flying birds – with a bit of practice, photography becomes a breeze. The uncomplicated removal of the camera and TLS adapter allows for seamless continuation of observation through the spotting scope.

Universal for all systems
The TLS adapters are nearly universal for all cameras with interchangeable lenses. A T2 adapter is required, which can be provided by the camera manufacturer or third-party suppliers. When using T2 adapters, automatic adjustment of parameters such as focus or aperture/program automatics is not available. Manual focusing and zooming on the spotting scope becomes necessary. Exposure time and ISO can still be controlled by the camera, but it is recommended to set these parameters manually. Some cameras are factory-programmed to only trigger photos with manufacturer lenses. In such cases, simply select the corresponding function in the camera menu to trigger with lenses from third-party manufacturers.
