Hello.
I really need some help. Has anyone managed to successfully use a canon lens with a zwo asi 183 mono pro camera. I have conflicting info and regardless no matter what number of combinations I use I do not get focus.
Method of madness below:
I purchased the following ZWO adapter
https://www.firstlightoptics.com/zwo-accessories/zwo-adjustable-eos-lens-to-t2-adapter-for-all-asi-cameras.html
on the website is says that for the 183 camera I should not use the 5mm extender provided...but.... on the asi 183 mono cam site it shows a diagram of adapter connected straight to the cam!
Great, except you can’t actually connect the two that way as it is Male to Male in that set up.
so I asked around and was told to use it with the11mm adapter that comes with the ASI cam and nope again...no focus.
I have attaches some pics soyou can try and seethe fitting, the different combinations tried and those suggested by ZWO.
I’ve even gone to extending out further just in case and again no avail. Seems to me I need to get it closer not further away. Apparently I read somewhere that canon lenses need<44mm to focus?
I am confused because it should just work and I shouldn’t be trying to fiddle about with every combination under the sun, or I’m doing something fundamentally stupid which is perfectly possible but I just have not figured out what.
P.s I’ve tried different canon lenses just in case and same scenario. I’m sure someone has it figured.
Thank you all
