Vixen Telescope Wide Photo Adapter 60DX Nikon
We introduce this high-quality and functional Wide Photo Adapter 60DX for Nikon by Vixen Optics. These adapter rings have high precision with durability dedicated to prime focus astrophotography, and it connects a Nikon DSLR camera to the scope focusers with a 60mm thread drawtube. Thanks to enhancing the materials and construction, Nikon's wide photo adapter 60DX provides sharpness, focus, and durability higher than the standard 60mm wide photo adapters. To decrease the light that is loss around the edge of the field of view, the inside diameter of the adapter ring should be widened. With Nikon F-mount, it matches with a full-frame image sensor perfectly. Not available for Nikon 1-mount and Nikon X-mount. The inner adapter ring attaching to a camera body is constructed sturdy by enlarging the size and thickness, and it is made of brass to endure long-time use.
The six pieces of lock screws securely hold the camera body. And to make the lock screws contact close to the inner adapter ring, it has a resin tip on the top portion, and the supplied M5 grub screw is used if a low-profile screw is vital. The inner adapter's diameter ring is enlarged (52mm of the new mount ring in diameter from 43.5mm.) with the dedicated camera mount adopted. It decreases vignetting and helps in reducing the loss of light around the edge of the field of view. Light blocking threads and elaborated mat finish cancels stray light. This is compatible with the Vixen focal reducers and corrector lenses. The conventional wide photo adapter of 60mm is exchangeable for this new wide photo adapter and designed to use the M60 threaded focusers that are standard for the Vixen optical tubes. The short and long lock screws are provided for the camera rotation. Alternatively, you may avoid the lock screws hitting the camera body by setting the L and S lock screws. The interference may be prevented by exchanging the grub screw supplied. Buy to see it yourself! Add to cart now!
