Swarovski TLS APO 23mm Telephoto Lens System Apochromat (for ATX/STX)

The Swarovski TLS APO 23 mm Telephoto Lens System Apochromat is an easy-to-use adapter that expands digiscoping options for DLSR, Micro 4/3s, and other mirrorless compact cameras. The TLS APO 23 mm works well on the X-Series spotting scopes as well as the earlier ATS/STX Swarovski Optik spotting Scopes. Its lightweight design makes it easy for the user to rapidly switch between observing and shooting photos. The larger aperture allows shorter exposure times to be achieved and therefore maximize image sharpness. Another benefit of the smaller focal length is that the image section is larger, which also means a wider range of photographic options.

Lightweight Design and Cost-Effectiveness

Digiscoping uses high focal lengths to cope with long distances. The digiscoping system, with its lightweight design and exceptional cost-effectiveness, makes it possible to switch rapidly between observing and shooting pictures.

Smaller Focal Lengths Allow Lower Aperture Values

If the new TLS APO 23 mm adapter is used with a Micro 4/3 camera, compared with the TLS APO 30 mm combined with a Micro 4/3 camera, the smaller focal lengths allow lower aperture values to be achieved. The larger aperture allows shorter exposure times to be achieved and, therefore, maximum image sharpness. Another benefit of the smaller focal length is that the image section is larger, which also means a wider range of photographic options.

For the Discerning Pro

If you spy a rare bird after a long and patient wait, you will want to capture this memorable moment forever. SWAROVSKI OPTIK has developed special equipment with which your digital camera and spotting scope can be swiftly transformed into one unit precisely for this purpose. This new trend is called digiscoping, and it is becoming increasingly popular among birders.
