Canon 70D and Swarovski TLS APO (1 Viewer)

heathgor · Nov 16, 2013

I was wondering if anyone is using the Canon 70d with the Swarovski TLS APO.
With the TLS APO being a non cpu lens, what settings are you using on your camera? Does the touch screen still allow auto focusing?
Do you have to adjust iso or shutter speed?
Any other information, such as your impression of this combination would be greatly appreciated.

Can't input to your specific queries as have only been thinking about trying this myself sometime (I have an ATX95 & 7D) ... don't know if you've picked up on this review from a local (for me) digiscoping expert as an example:

Hi Chris, thanks for the reply. Yes I saw that setup Danny was using.
I guess no one is using the 70D setup. Maybe someone will see my post
and give me some needed info.

Thanks again

I have not used this set up but cannot see how it could AF as there is not AF system in the TLS adaptor. In theory the camera should meter correctly so in an automatic mode should set shutter speed and ISO for you.
