Which adapter? T2, M48, M42 to 2"


Recommended Posts

I'm purchasing an adapter for my camera to be mounted to my skywatcher 72 that supports filters. I'm looking at the following two but I don't know whether my current T-ring(or whatever it is) is an M42 type or M48.

Here are some pictures of the "t-ring":

Thank you in advance!

If you are using a full frame digital SLR the 48mm is better, as you can get slight vignetting with the 42mm T thread, with a crop frame sensor it probably doesn't make much difference.

I'm using a nikon d3300 which is a crop sensor.

Victor- Can you measure the diameter of your t ring aperture as shown in your first picture (the threaded part not the bayonet that connects to the camera. ) if it measures approx 48mm you need the first  item you linked, if it’s 42mm then you need the second version. You don’t need precise measure- a ruler across the opening should make it obvious.

Thank you very much! It measures 42mm so I will buy second one:)
