Swarovski Optik has announced the innovative and compact UCA universal camera adapter, which makes it possible to use Swarovski Optik telescopes for photographic purposes. The UCA can be used with SLRs and compact cameras alike, although some restrictions apply. Namely, only SLRs with a 50mm lens and compacts with a maximum 4x zoom are compatible with this solution. Using the adapter is simple: you only need to set the camera’s position relative to the telescope once - after that, you can take it off the telescope and put it back again without any further adjustments. The price will be around 300 euros and shipments will commence on 1 July.
