Product Description

A T-ring converts a camera's mount to a standard T-thread, allowing you to couple a camera body to a camera adapter or, in some cases, directly to the focuser of a telescope. All camera adapters, including Celestron and Meade T-adapters and universal camera adapters, will fit this T-thread. Have a new digital SLR camera? We've got the T-rings you'll need. The #5224 T-ring fits the Canon 300D Digital Rebel, also the 10D, 20D, 20Da, 30D, 350D, and 5D digital SLRs. For Nikon DSLR owners, the #5205 T-ring is compatible with the Nikon D50, D70, D70s, and D200.

Works, but barely
By Robert E. Hovey
After reading some bad reviews of other t-mount adapter rings, one of which would not even lock in place, I settled on Orion's because I'd ordered from them before and was satisfied with their products and service. The ring arrived quickly and had a pretty nice level of finish. It screwed onto the T-adapter securely and locked into place on the camera body. However... it is nowhere near as solid as any of my lenses. There is a noticeable amount of play between the ring and camera body which I found unacceptable. For the price it did not seem worth the time and effort to return (and possible get another one just as bad) so I made do with a shim made from some curved strips of Scotch tape (I put a few pieces on wax paper, traced the curve and cut them out). Now it seems to be fairly snug and given the fact that I don't use this mount (for a Celestron C90) as much as my other lenses, I don't think I'll have to replace the tape very often. Still, I wish the thing had worked right in the first place.

Exelent t-Ring for Nikon D40
By Greg L. Smith
This T-Ring fits perfectly. It smoothly glides into place with a small click to lock it into place. It fits as smoothly as the Kikon lens does.
