While the Sony Alpha 7 series, including the 7S and 7SII models, are renowned for their high sensitivity and compact design, making them ideal for astronomical photography, the challenge of connecting these cameras to various optical systems without compromising image quality has been met with our precision-engineered T-Ring Camera Adapter. This adapter is meticulously crafted to ensure a seamless fit for Sony E/NEX Bayonet lenses, adding a mere 8.3 mm to the camera's 18 mm backfocus, thus maintaining the camera's lightweight profile and compatibility with backfocus-critical systems such as HyperStar or fast Newtonians.
Our T-Ring Camera Adapter stands out in the market with its inclusion of a well-tested system derived from our Protective EOS-T-Ring, offering not just a T-2 thread but also an M48 thread for broader compatibility. The design further expands to accommodate our ultra-wide S52 clamping system, ensuring a secure and stable connection that is paramount for precision astrophotography.
In anticipation of the needs of our discerning customers, we are also preparing to release a 2" nose-piece equipped with an S52-ring-clamp. This addition will provide an unobstructed clear inner diameter of 46mm, effectively eliminating vignetting when paired with the Sony Alpha 7 cameras, even when using very fast optical systems. The T-Ring Camera Adapter's durable construction and high-quality materials guarantee a reliable and long-lasting solution for photographers and videographers looking to expand their creative capabilities with their Sony E/NEX cameras. Its compact, versatile, and user-friendly design makes it an indispensable tool for those seeking to achieve the highest quality images in their astronomical pursuits.
