Is the lens mount a standard F-mount or something different ? I want to connect to a telescope.

Hi, unfortunately Canon has created a new mirrorless lens mount standard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EF-M_lens_mount). They produce an adapter for the EF mount standard which works best with EF-S lenses (x1) and ok with EF lenses (x1.6 due to the sensor size). If by "F mount" you FD mount then you could try buying an EF-M to EF/EF-S mount and buy and FD to EF lens adaptor (search for "fd to ef lens adaptor" on amazon) then use them together. I have not tried this and would interested in the results.Cheers,JP

It's Canon's new EF-M Mount. There are only three lenses available right now: 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS, 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS, and 22mm f/2. However, as with all mirrorless cameras, the major benefit of removing the mirror and moving the mount closer to the sensor, is that you can use adapters to attach almost any lens out there. You can get an adapter to use Nikon F mount lenses, or Canon EF and EF-S lenses, or just about any other brand out there (Pentax, Leica, Sony, C-Mount, etc.).

EOS M has it's own mound: the M mount, and you can use an adapter to convert it to EF lenses. I got a MEIKE adapter for $33 for my EOS M

when I got this lens there was only one way, with the c-mount adapter. it looks like there is now the e-mount option, they probably just permanently attached the adapter to the lens. either should be fine

If the lenses mount is EOS then yeah just get the adaptor or for whatever mount it is designed for. You may have come flange distance issues with that lens but it should work.

I don't have an exact answer for your first question, but If you go to the website of the seller, there is a picture that shows how you can set this up with you telescope and camera. The t-ring attaches to your DSLR in place of a normal lens. Then you have the t adapter that goes in the 1.25" focuser of your telescope. Your t ring that is attached to your camera then screws into the t adapter so that your camera is now coupled with your telescope. The other tube is for extending the focal length for afocal projection. This can be useful if you have a Newtonian reflector which often times have issues achieving focus when your camera is attached directly to the focuser with just the t ring and t adapter. I hope this helps you out!

It works with a D300 & D50 as those are the body's I own , would not recommend a fixed F8 lense. Should have returned

As Sunny already said, it is an F-mount, so it will work. It is a great way to try a Lensbaby without paying a lot. :)

Yes, you just need the appropriate thread adaptor for the rear cell attachment or an adaptor that fits the eyepiece holder. Then a T-thread to your DSLR's lens mount adaptor. I have made some great shots of the moon with this telescope and one of those above setups.

The best thing I have found, is to find out the mm of the base you want to mount it to, and get the same size. Are you mounting it to the camera, or another lens? I believe you are trying to go too the camera it's self for close ups. Or are you trying to use it with another lens also? With just what you have given me, I am not sure. With just this lens you do not have A/F or stabilizer.

Hi, I am not sure about old lenses, but this mounting works well for me to attach D300 & D3200 on my Orion telescope.

I bought one a couple of months ago and it came with a standard canon mount? So should be no problem. If concerned can email them before they send and ask for Canon mount

It will work with any standard 1.25 inch eyepiece adapter or focuser, but i second the previous answer regarding tracking. I suggest downloading Stellarium (free planetarium software) and entering your telescope and the sensor specs into the telescopes plugins so you can see what the field of view would be in you 80 mm, and how quickly objects move out of that field of view. If it's too small, and you don't have mount that is tracking the sky, you might end up just being frustrated.

Forgot one thing. On the adapter's flange, there is a small gap. You can line up this gap to a guide on fd lens, then let the guide goes through the gap before turning the adapter clockwise.

This lens adapter is for mounting Nikon F-mount lenses onto Canon EF mount DSLR.Due to the design of the lens mount, F-mount is smaller than EF mount and can be adapted to fit EF mount DSLR but not the other way round.Hence, this adapter only works for you if you want to mount your current Nikon lens on your wife's Canon DSLR.

I too have a 90SLT but I want to use it for Astrophotography. To those that said no because of the threads... Can this fit inside the Celestron T-Adapter and be held in place via the thumb screw?

I got it a long time ago, but I think you have to specify to Tamron which mount you want. There's one for Canon, an e-mount, and there is probably one for Nikon, too with a different mount.

The mount that shows in the picture is for SCTs like the SE, CPC, or Edge HD series of scopes. When I bought mine, there was a smaller mount included for smaller scopes along with the mount shown. I would refer to the Celestron.com website for more info if you aren't sure.
