And they have too much "empty" magnification. They won't focus on a 35mm adapter properly. Avoid the 4x (for medium format) and 10x (for 4x5). For a DX camera, you can get by with a 2.5x, but the 2x is really better. The CF-PL eyepiece is probably the wrong series for your scope, it's what my Nikon Optiphot needs. That accepts a "projection eyepiece", such as a 2x, 2.5x, 4x, or 10x Nikon CF-PL. Do you see that hole at the bottom of the port. The focal point for that port is actually inside the chimney. The CCTV port is only built to be used by cameras that don't have shutters or mirrors and don't vibrate. And you get too much vibration from the camera's mirror and shutter mechanism. You don't get "beautiful pictures", because you're not in the plane of focus, and you have to focus the scope outside the parfocal (ports and eyepieces all in focus at the same time) range. You could have an adapter made for a micro four thirds camera. And the direct path is only a 20mm circle. It's got too short a projection distance to attach a 35mm camera or DSLR, focus is only about 25mm from the port.

I believe you can get C and E mount adapters for it, for non-Nikon cameras. It is only for direct projection on video cameras, like the Nikon DXM. I have answers for you, but you may not like them. If I cannot use the preferred front mount what would I use with a T-Mount to slide into the chimney mount in EG2?įront (EG1) bayonet mount of unknown type My camera (without lens of course) can sit on EG1 and takes beautiful pics but only a matter of time before it gets knocked off since it doesn't attach - just the metal of the front of the camera sitting on the stainless steel mount. Nikon referred me to and they don't know either. The front opening would be best because it actually has bayonet mount for some sort of photo equipment but neither Nikon nor anyone else knows what adapter would fit. The back opening (EG2) has a chimney mount which means it is just a wide tube with a thumb screw at the top that a smaller tube can fit in and be held in place by the thumb screw.

The front photo opening (EG1) has some sort of bayonet mount that does not fit my Nikon camera. The microscope has two openings for photographic equipment as well as a binocular viewer. It was the very best of its day and better than almost anything now. I have a 25 year old Nikon Microphot SA microscope and a new Nikon D3100 camera.
