Thank you Werner. I have learned bit about equipment from you so,I am thankful to you. Since I learned from you that Swarovski has 52mm thread and I have a couple of camera (Nikon V2, GX7 and Nex 7) I got the 35mm lens with 52mm filter thread and for Sony I got the 49-52 step up ring.
My question to you is,have you tried both 85 and 95mm objectives if so why did you choose 85 over 95?
Thanks.

Thank you Harish.
I only tried with the ATX 85 because the 85 mm has starting aperture which is more open than the 95 mm. You win +2/3 exposure.
The 95 mm is better for birding than the 85 . Hope you understand my bad englisch sorry for that.

Thank you Werner.
That is a very good point. I prefer having wider aperture than reach. Besides anything beyond 1750 is for bird watching than photographing unless you have a large subject..
