What a great picture showing the three of them together.

Very well done Fernando.
 
my o my you lucky man.terrific birds and capture of these three beauties.all the best margaret.
 
Wow - I found your pictures here because I have an E-M10 myself and recently acquired a Swarovski scope, and I have been wondering if the TLS APO adapter would really connect the two successfully, so I started googling. It sure works for you! Congratulations on this(!!) and the other great shots you've posted here, and thanks for posting them.
 
Thnak you ggriffeth!

If it is useful for your future decision, I started with the TLS APO 30 mm and used it for a year and a half or so. Then Swarovski produced their new TLS APO 23 mm. I got one, and since then I haven't used again the 30 mm.

The advantages on luminosity, but especially in depth of field, making focus easier, more than compensates the loss of 1/4 of your focal length (you have enough of that, anyway :) ). I get a much higher proportion of well focused photos, especially flight ones
