Bring your astrophotography to the next level with the Baader Wide T-Ring Set, meticulously engineered to seamlessly connect your Minolta DSLR camera to the Astro T-2 system. This high-quality, durable T-Ring set is a must-have accessory for Sony Alpha/Minolta Maxxum camera owners, offering a versatile and easy-to-use solution for attaching a wide-angle lens and expanding your photographic horizons.
Crafted by Baader Planetarium, a leader in optical innovation, the Wide T-Ring features an S52 dovetail in addition to the integrated T-2 ring. This dual design not only enhances the connection stability but also provides the flexibility to modify the T-ring. You can easily convert it to an M48 female thread using the S52/M48 adapter #2958552 or utilize the S52 barrel #2958551 without the T-2 reduction for a streamlined setup.
For those seeking a direct attachment to an M68 male thread, the Wide T-Ring can be securely fastened using the S52/M68 adapter #2458252, ensuring your camera is equipped to capture images with the widest possible aperture. The compatibility with the Baader Universal Filter Changer (UFC) system is another standout feature. By using the optional Baader UFC S52 dovetail camera-adapter (#2459119), photographers can effortlessly switch between different filter sizes directly in front of the camera sensor, enhancing image quality and versatility.
The improved illumination of camera chips is a significant advantage of this T-Ring set, primarily due to the larger clear aperture that allows more light to reach the sensor, resulting in brighter and clearer images. On the camera side, the set boasts a Minolta AF Bayonet, ensuring a secure and precise fit for your Sony Alpha/Minolta Maxxum camera. The telescope side is equally well-equipped with an S52 dovetail clamp, including an S52/T-2 internal thread with a 0.75mm pitch for a reliable and robust connection to your wide-angle lens.
In summary, the Baader Wide T-Ring Set is an affordable, high-quality solution that offers unparalleled adaptability and ease of use for astrophotography enthusiasts. Its specific design for Sony Alpha/Minolta Maxxum cameras makes it an indispensable tool for capturing the cosmos with clarity and precision.
