This adapter is well engineered and is a breeze to interchange between having the camera on the scope and having the camera off the scope for regular viewing. Images through the adapter are clear and as seen. This adapter unit makes it easy to take stunning images through your high quality optics. I'm currently using it to perform spectroscopy of stars.

Can these be used on a Canon R6 full frame mirrorless?
Asked by: Mark D
According to Swarovski: Its excellent optical quality makes it particularly attractive to the most discerning digiscopers who want to use system cameras (23mm), APS-C/DX single-lens reflex cameras (30mm) or full-frame cameras (43mm). It would seem that the 43mm version of the TLS APO would be most appropriate for a full frame mirrorless.

question

I recently bought a Canon 5d Mark iii. I started with teh the EOS 7d and the TLS APO. When I fit the TLS APO on the Canon 5d I get a lot of vignetting. Is this because it is a full frame camera ? and what can be done aganinst it? With the 7d I had no problem. Just poor image quality with the TLS APO ;-((Ger
Asked by: Ger B.
Your right about the vignetting. The APO is designed for a crop sensor camera like the 7D. However, there is a work around if you want to use it on your 5D. Go to the fourth menu in the Settings menu and change theAspect ratio. I would do some test shots to see which one you like best. the other option is of coursecropping the pic your editing software. BTW I sold my Spotting Scope gear. Hope tis helps.

I use mine with a Nikon D7000 with great results. I use the T2 adapter on the TLS APO which allows me to connect it to the camera body. Wonderful system.
