The Astro Edition Lens Adapter from Fotodiox is designed for 48mm T-Mount wide-field telescopes to Fuji X mirrorless cameras for deep-space astrophotography. The female side screws fit on your wide-field telescope and the camera bayonet side mounts securely on your mirrorless camera as if it was a native lens. The included extension tube is for focusing with some telescopes, which may have problems adjusting focus far enough out. The extension tube is removable, revealing a secondary female thread for telescopes that focus close enough to the mirror or have a Barlow lens installed.

Wide-Field, Deep-Space Astrophotography    Versatile, Dependable, Adaptable    Add Style & Character to Your Image    Precise Fit & Solid Connection    Lens Has No Play, Gap, or Wiggling    No Adjustments Required    Precision All-Metal Construction    Chrome-Plated Brass Mounts

The adapter features all-metal, no-plastic construction to create a secure connection between your glass and camera that will not degrade over time, keeping the lens-camera connection secure with every use. The chrome-plated brass mounts are designed for enhanced durability and reliability.

With this adapter, putting old lenses onto new, high-performance DSLR or mirrorless cameras seems counterintuitive. Many older lenses can capture images that have that elusive quality known as character. For photographers or videographers who want to create unique images that express their personal style, character can be even more important than resolution numbers, corner-to-corner sharpness, and other advantages of the near-perfect lenses that are quite common today.

The Astro Edition adapter is designed specifically for wide-field, deep-space astrophotography telescopes. The female side screws fit onto your wide field telescope, and the camera bayonet side mounts securely on your mirrorless camera, as if it was a native lens. The included extension tube is for focusing with some telescopes which may have problems adjusting focus far enough out. The extension tube is removable, revealing a secondary female thread for telescopes that focus close enough to the mirror or have a Barlow lens installed.

The adapter is manufactured with precise tolerances, providing a solid, gap-free, no-wiggle connection for stress-free use. There are no adjustments needed. The adapter is meant to be taken off and put back on your camera as much as needed while remaining as precise as the day you bought them.
