This has the std flattner with a moonlite focuser and a DSLR (T adapter and 1 1/4 nose piece) I cannot reach focus for the camera. Attached is a pic of what I have all together.....Do I need another adapter?


Could it be that that camera requires a certain profile ? Does TAK specify the distance between the Reducers glass and the DSLR ? Is there an adapter listed somewhere to position the camera at the correct distance from the corrector/flattner lens?

Help...don't have much hair left to pull out
Thanks for any info

The metal back distance for the E-160 corrector is 56mm. You are past that point. You need the TMW0004 Canon EOS connected directly to the Canon camera.

You current set up is too long. You need the EOS wide mount
threaded into the corrector and the Canon EOS camera attached to
the wide mount adapter.
