What do I need to use the Kowa TSN-PA7 adapter?
You need a Kowa PROMINAR TSN-99, TSN-88, TSN-77 or TSN-66 series spotting scope, the Kowa TE-11WZ II eyepiece, the TSN-PA7 and your camera. Kowa lists the TSN-PA7 as compatible with most DSLR and mirrorless/MFT cameras.
Will the Kowa TSN-PA7 work with my TSN-82SV spotting scope?
Kowa lists the TSN-PA7 for the TSN-99/88/77/66 PROMINAR series and does not list the TSN-82SV. For the TSN-82SV, Kowa offers the TSN-PA8.
What is the difference between the Kowa TSN-PA7 and the TSN-PA8?
The difference is the scope body. The TSN-PA7 is for the TSN-99/88/77/66 PROMINAR series with the TE-11WZ II zoom eyepiece. The TSN-PA8 is for the TSN-660/600 series and the TSN-82SV, for SLR or heavy system cameras.
How is the 2,570mm focal length achieved with the Kowa TSN-PA7?
Kowa gives a focal length range up to 2,570 mm (35 mm full frame equivalent). It is a maximum: the focal length you get depends on the scope, the zoom setting of the TE-11WZ II and the camera.
Can I use the Kowa TSN-PA7 for bird photography with my TSN-88 scope?

Does the Kowa TSN-PA7 have any glass elements inside?
Yes. The Kowa TSN-PA7 has protective glass that keeps the camera sensor clean.
