Practice Makes Perfect

I bought this for my ATX 30 - 70 X 95 to capture images of eagles and other wildlife. It takes a bit of practice to refine camera ISO and white-balance, and other key camera settings. I am still playing with my Canon 5D Mk III to get sharp images, but my crop sensor Cannon SL1 gives me better results at the moment. A sturdy tripod and quality tripod head make a big difference, and I bought the balance rail for use with my CTH compact head to reduce imbalance and camera vibration. Again, I had to practice through trial and error, but after just a few weeks I am getting the results I want. I recommend it if you want to reach out with your camera.

works very well

There used to be a sleeve (maybe called DRX adapter sleeve) over the eyepiece for this digiscoping lens to rest on, but I don't see it available here or mfg web site any more. Do we just put this digiscoping lens directly over the eyepiece now?

Can the TLS APO 43 be used with a DX camera body? If so, would it create a cropped image like using an FX lens on a DX body?
