Works with Orion Dobsonian / Canon 5D4 when used with eyepiece
The media could not be loaded. The product is metal, and is sturdy and well made. I have a 6" Orion Dobsonian, so it only works when you insert an eye-piece inside the adapter, per the instructions in the product description and what was provided. Because of having to insert the eyepieces inside the adapter, It only fits some of my eyepieces, like my 25mm, but not my 40mm.It took a little trial and error to get the 25mm eyepiece to sit correctly in the adapter. You may think it's in all the way, but doublecheck before giving up. If the set screw doesn't hold the eyepiece in place properly, it's probably not all the way in. Once I got it properly assembled, I connected to my Canon 5D4 body and it worked. I was able to get reasonably sharp images.The hard part (no fault of the adapter) was sharpening the image since my old Orion is a beginner telescope and doesn't have fine tuning on the focus dial. I included a short video where you can see me tyring to focus the image in the first few seconds. The clouds didn't help either.Overall, I'm very satisfied and excited to put it to the test on some other objects besides the moon.

SO easy!Took me about a day to learn how to shoot manual on the Sony Mirrorless.
With new Sony lenses being very expensive, it makes sense to use my old Minolta lenses. The adapter itself works perfectly. It attaches the Minolta lens to your Sony E-Mount camera. The rest is up to you, the photographer. The a7iii has an assisted manual mode, with focus peaking, and focus magnification. It took me about a day (and a few websites and youtube videos) to get really comfortable. Now, I feel very comfortable, and have taken some nice pictures.also,I am very fussy on product quality, and this adapter exceeded my expectations. It is very well-made, from brass and stainless steel. It fits on my NEX-6 with a nice, solid feel - just like attaching a Sony lens. Same with attaching a sony lens to the front. I've had no issues with lenses or the adapter being too tight and sticking or with it being too loose. The blue aperture ring has been updated, and now has 6 click stops. It rotates with a smooth, precise feel.So far, it is working great, and photos taken with the sony lenses look fantastic.

Better than expected
The build quality was much better than expected for a 30$ product. Fit my Nikon D3400 nicely with a snug fit, no slop. The only downside I'd have to the product is that with the extendable feature, it is hard to slide your 1.25" eyepiece down the barrel without it rubbing on the inner sides of the barrel. Overall a very neat purchase, will be super happy to use it at the eclipse soon!

Works great on Sony A7C
This was perhaps the least expensive option I found for Sony E Mount that included the T adapter and 1.25" adapter. This locked up tight on an A7C with no issues. I then threaded on the 1.25" adapter and it slid right into my refractor telescope in place of the mirror/prism. Picture quality will largely be a function of the camera, telescope, and user's ability to manually focus. The adapter just holds things in place. For me there is quite a bit of vignette unless I use a 2x Barlow. A 2" adapter should also reduce the effect but my telescope is 1.25" eyepiece native.Unless you have an automated tracking mount it will be hard to take pictures of any small or deep space objects that will move across the sky quickly. Even for easier objects like the moon you will need to use a remote shutter release (computer or phone) or time delay as even the slightest vibrations will cause poor image quality. Terrestrial photos should be easier so long as the subject gives ample time to focus.

Could be great....reviewing canon version
I bought this to use for solar and lunar photography with my Canon camera. Works with my old t6i and my r6(with adapter).Pros - Build quality appears excellent. Works great if using with an eyepiece.Cons - no matter what I did (even removed extension portion) I could not achieve prime focus on either my dob or refracting telescopes. Cameras seemed like they needed to get closer to focus image. Another area of improvement would be to have the interior of unit matte black. It is almost a semigloss and causes some issues with images (especially when photographing the sun or a very bright moon). Planning on spray painting interior with matte black per another person's suggestion.Would have given 5 stars if advertised as eyepiece projecting only and interior was non reflective.

Great product, good price
I ordered this just before the eclipse in April 2024 and it arrived and I was able to mount my full fame Nikon dslr right onto my telescope and take amazing photos. Very easy to use and you can use it with a telescope eyepiece or without. Plenty of adjustability to allow you to find the focal plane.

Solid and it works
It fits a eos 90D just fine, my teliscope is sub $100 with a nearly worthless tripod but it works none the less. The blur is a motion blur it gets as crisp as the eyepice and teliscope allow.

Does not fit Canon t7 way too small
I was going to return it but it is a nicely made unit. and for eight bucks I ordered the proper adapter online. do not believe when they say fits all Canon SLR it does not. I have the Canon Rebel t7 and it is way too small to fit. They did not send the wrong box either. on the label it said Canon SLR. But as stated, it was one of the nicer and well made units available in my opinion. it was worth ordering the adapter ring as needed.

Great piece of kit
The T Adapter and T2 T Ring Adapter for Canon SLR Cameras is a great investment for amateur astrophotographers. It fits securely onto the camera and telescope, allowing for seamless image capturing. Its good build quality ensures durability for long-term use, and it's incredibly easy to use right out of the box. Highly recommended for anyone looking to take their astrophotography to new heights!

Little flimsy
Ok, but not great.

Quality isn’t great but it works fine
This is cheap and it works if you want to attach your modem Nikon to your 1.25” telescope (and probably microscope). It is a bit ‘clunky’ but if you take care it won’t damage your camera.
