The Opteka T-Mount Adapter for Canon EOS enabled me to fit a 500mm vivitar mirror lens to a Canon eos digital camera, giving me a focal length of 700mm! The depth of field is quite shallow because of the fixed aperture of f8, but I have been able to get very close to birds and animals unnoticed. The adapter saved a lens that would have otherwise gone unused. It is useful for all your manual focus T-mount lenses.

Well made, tight fit on Canon XS Digital SLR. Used to mount camera on telescopes using T-Adapter.

I purchased this T-mount to attach my newly purchased Canon Rebel Xsi to a Bausch and Lomb Discoverer 60mm Telescope. With the T-mount attached to my camera, and a t-adapter attached to the scope, I have a 1000-4000mm lens that works great for moon photos and animal pictures. It took me a little while to adjust the camera settings to fit the telescope, but after a couple nights of changing the settings, I got some pretty nice moon shots. This T-mount is simple, easy to use, and connects easily to the scope with an additional T-adapter. The mount seems strong and sturdy; my camera feels securely connected to the telescope.

The Opteka T-mount adapter for Eos does exactly what it says it does. It allows you to use telescopes or mirror lenses on your Eos camera. Even though it says for digitals, it works just as well on older film Canon Eos series cameras.

Just in case you don't know, the t-mount won't pass any electrical information to the lens for stopping down the aperture, or auto focusing. Luckily the lens I used it with has a fixed f8 aperture and manual focus so no worries.

Good build quality, simple, really hard to go wrong with this one. Just make sure you tighten it down properly if not you'll lose infinity focus. If you need it, this will take care of ya.



Used with a Solignor 500mm mirror lens, mounted on a Digital Rebel Xt, and an Elan IIe. Worked perfect with both.

This product arrived promptly and was exactly as described. I wanted a Canon t-mount for using a couple of mirror-lens telephoto/spotting scopes that I have, and this perfectly fills the bill. Thanks.

Item arrived several days sooner than anticipated. Form, fit and function of product on my Canon XSi is as it should be. Product is made of metal and precision machined.No complaints whatsoever.

I have read some reviews of other brands that cited poor materials, design, fit, etc. but I have to say I have no problems with any of these. It's well machined and fits perfectly. It even has the red dot to make it easier to install it on the camera.

The Opteka T-mount adapter is the most durable and heaviest one I've seen. I was skeptical about how strong it could be, but once it arrived, I was very pleasantly surprised. It was very sturdy, solid, and inserted into my Canon EOS Rebel T1i smoothly with a secure lock. Attached to a visual back adapter into my scope, it easily supports my camera and is very secure and tight. There's some beef to this ring. It's not cheaply made. I will first consider Opteka for other adapters I may need in the future.

Purchased this for my Canon Digital Rebel XS so that I can mount the camera on my Celestron telescope. Received VERY quickly from 47th Street Photo. Adaptor fits the camera and the C90 T-mount (from Celestron) perfectly and is very well made and solid. Now I just have to get out and do some stargazing!

Received the order quickly, no problems, and item was just as I expected. Just wish the it came with some instructions as I'm a new owner of an SLR camera and the adapter took a little figuring out.
