[...]after buying this item, it would not lock in with the 500mm lens I bought from the same place.Called Nikon, they told me if I forced it, I would snap the focusing plastic clip in the camera.

I bought this ring twice. 1st one came ok & fit nicely to my nikon camera. I gave it to my friend. Then I ordered another set. When 2nd set reached, the box was different from 1st T-ring I bought. I thought Adorama had changed it's supplier. To horror I found that this T-ring can't be used by my nikon camera. I doesn't fit at all. It is not for my camera. I wasted my money on this thing. Still thinking.. Ok, should I order again from here as they might just ship another wrong item again.. Please Adorama double check the things before you ship it.

Nice quality item, belying its very reasonable cost. Bayonet mount fits snugly with no "monkey-motion," as it should.

Used with a Nikon D5000 for astrophotography. Solid - Obviously well designed / machined - locks onto the camera nice and securely.

Bought this to use some old T-Mount lenses I had. Attached it to a 500mm Quantaray tele and mounted it to my D50 Nikon and it seems to work wonderfully. Need to shoot some frames and see how it does. So far it seems sturdy (metal) and fits to a "T", pun intended. If you own old T-Mount equipment, get one. Gonna try it on my Nikon FG next.

I bought this to use on a Celestron C90 Mak, 3.5 (90mm) Maksutov-Cassegrain Spotting Scope, to mount it to my Nikon DSLR. It does it's job without any problems. I don't use it that much so I don't know how durable it is.

a basic item for the equipment

I picked this up for use with a T-mount lens, but when I received it, I discovered a neat bonus. The adapter has a threaded ring which attaches to the Nikon lens mount adapter via set screws. As it turns out, the diameter of the lens mount adapter is the same as a piece of 1 1/2" PVC, so with the T-mount adapter, a short piece of PVC, and a rear lens cap, I managed to make a very cheap macro extension for my Nikon D80. By moving the lens forward, I can now focus incredibly close. (see the photo)

The only catch with using it this way is you need a lens with an aperture ring, since the lens is no longer attached to the camera. You also have to manually focus, and set the camera to manual mode, just like you would have to with any T-mount lens.

And yes, I've used it with T-mount lenses, and it does that just fine as well. I just thought that the set screws and the ability to try some different stuff made it just a bit cooler!

It might have just been me but I found this did not extend out far enough for me to reach the controls I needed to reach for connecting and disconnecting the lens. It needed to have slightly more depth to it to function easily. I returned it and had no problem with the return.

This makes using other manufacturer's lenses a snap. I have a Nikon and can use several other lenses quite easily. Might have to have a second one day.

I used this on my Nikon D300 so I could mount a large Phoenix OM lens, worked perfectly.

Works great

[...]I was able to take a 500mm that I still use on a pair of old Canon AE-1's and use it successfully with my Nikons. Even placed a 1.4 teleconverter in there and got good results at 700mm.

Comments about Adorama Adorama T-Mount for Nikon AI & Autofocus:

I purchased this t-mount to adapt a 500mm mirror lens that I use on my Canon A-1 35mm. I just got into digital SLR photography and was very pleased that a simple [$] adapter was all I needed to be able to use the lens on my new Nikon D40. Obviously no autofocus, and the exposure has to be set manually, but that is easier than you may think.
