Why We Love the Orion Wide M48 T-Ring For Nikon Cameras (05187)
Description
This wide-format T-ring is not compatible with standard T-threaded accessories. For use with wide-format 35mm cameras, and 48mm wide-format T-threaded accessories only.
A wide T-ring converts a DSLR camera body's bayonet mount to a wide-format (M48), female T-thread, allowing attachment of the camera to accessories such as field flatteners, reducers, and spacer rings that utilize the M48 thread. This T-ring, designed to fit Nikon F-mount cameras, features M48 (48mm x 0.75) threads. Wider than standard M42 T-rings, this T-ring reduces vignetting, especially in full-frame (35mm format) cameras. Length (thickness) of the T-ring is 8.1mm. Made of machined aluminum and black anodized.
