Mounting Canon 400D to 150-PL

[Nigeyboy]

Morning all,

Just a quick query here. Been looking over FLO and RVO websites for an adaptor to fit my Canon 400D to my SW 150-PL. I have the standard SW 2 x Barlow, which after a little play, I have found I can unscrew the lens element off the bottom, leaving me with a T mount. However, unsure what I need to fit that to the Canon. Think it might be this:

But I can't see what diameter thread the Barlow has! Could a fellow Canon user help please?

Cheers

Nige

P.S - won't be able to reply to comments until tonight, so thanks in advance!!

The M48 t ring is for connecting field flatteners etc to cameras. The t-ring you need to connect the thread on the top of the barlow lens body to the camera is a standard M42x0.75mm t-ring.

The 150PL won't come to focus with a Barlow body inserted into the eyepiece holder and DSLR due to lack of inward focuser travel. To mount a DSLR unscrew the eyepiece holder and screw a standard M42x0.75mm T-ring to the M42 thread on the scope.

Thanks for the replies both of you! That's just the info I was looking for!
