Will this adapter allow scale focus using the lens distance scale?

Yes the mount was designed to work correctly with distance scale on lens. Otherwise it could've just been designed as a flat adaptor.

Hello,My apologies but I am not exactly clear on what you are asking. The adapter does not have any electronics contacts, therefore I do not believe the scale focus will work on the camera. However the lens distance scale should still be accurate. I just put a call in to our rep, he will be putting a call into tech support to see if they have a better answer for you. Please let me know if you need further clarification. Regards,RoozbehOC camera

Don't know, I sent it back because the #20 Rainbow imaging version worked just as well.

There is no magnification with this T-Adapter is good for prime focus....where your camera is receiving light directly from the telescope...the "magnification" will be from the scope itself and no eyepieces...if you want magnification...you need a T adapter that will allow for use with a barlow lens...which is mainly used for planets...as deep sky objects are far too big

Due to the size difference and the shape of the lense- I'm pretty sure it will not work.You need slightly bigger one.

From my experience using this adapter with an FD 50mm f1.4, the corrective lens causes a soft edge, or "bloom" effect at F-stops faster than around f2.8, creating an unusable image. Im not sure how the difference in focal length will affect it though.

Yes, it will work. Just don't expect that it will add zooming capability, but instead it will be able to magnify the subject in the macro perspective.The autofocus may work with the maximum addition of the 2 least tubes.

yes the adapter works with that, this lens requires complete manual control though

It all depends on what you want for focus. It works fine otherwise but for autofocus, it's very poor. Figure on manually focusing if you buy this adapter. Works fine for me but I don't use it with long lenses (because I never use long lenses)

No only has focus I use the camera zoom in/out and have a wide angle lens that will fit the same adapter

Yes but keep in mind this is a SLOW focusing adapter. Slightly slower than metabones. If you are relying on IS to take action shots or bird shots, it'll be difficult.

I do not Know the answer to this specific question, but with any lens adapter, you should be aware that the focus may not be able to be adjusted to inifinity due to to the different thickness of the cameras, and that the lens motors and sensors may not have a mechanical or electrical connection to the camera, requiring aperture, focus, and zoom settings to be manually set. Also some cameras have a lens attached sensor that may not recognize the adaptor and will not permit a picture to ne taken.

No. I do not know of any adapters that can do it. I initially thought of the same, it did not work out - so I bought the camera as it was cheaper than getting a 22 mm lens for a DSLR.

I was able to fit in my smaller eyepieces in the adapter. There is a knurled screw that will hold the eyepiece in place. I've also found that it isn't designed to be used as a primary focus adapter unless you have a low profile focuser. Has anyone been able to find any larger eyepieces that will fit in the adapter?

From my experience, it depends more on the camera than other things. If the lens barrel of the camera extends when the camera turns on, the adapter may not work very well. Maximum theorectical distance between the tripod mount screw and eyepiece lens is about 2 1/2 inches.

Yes you may use the adapter. But lost the IS and no AF. I do use the Nikon AF lens on Pan G1. But I did not like it because focus by hand too slow missing a lot of shots. For you better off to buy the Nikon D90. The 135mm F/2 is the best len to own.

Unless the adapter has glass, I don't recommend it, you will have a very out of focus image.

Should work,but I would expect fairly poor results from that lens,use a prime or shorter zoom

Not unless you only want to use it at close distances only. The flange distance is 29mm for the XL1 and 44mm for the EF mount, a 15mm difference. The maximum focal length of the XL1 is 88mm, so the lowest magnification ratio that you could shoot at is 15/88 = 0.17x. And that assumes an adapter of 0 length. So not only would you lose infinity focus, you wouldn't even be able to focus at moderate distances. Even if you wanted to the adapters are pretty bad.
