Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Orion T-ring for Nikon Camera
Customer Review: Works, but barely
Summary: 2 Stars
After reading some bad reviews of other t-mount adapter rings, one of which would not even lock in place, I settled on Orion's because I'd ordered from them before and was satisfied with their products and service. The ring arrived quickly and had a pretty nice level of finish. It screwed onto the T-adapter securely and locked into place on the camera body. However... it is nowhere near as solid as any of my lenses. There is a noticeable amount of play between the ring and camera body which I found unacceptable. For the price it did not seem worth the time and effort to return (and possible get another one just as bad) so I made do with a shim made from some curved strips of Scotch tape (I put a few pieces on wax paper, traced the curve and cut them out). Now it seems to be fairly snug and given the fact that I don't use this mount (for a Celestron C90) as much as my other lenses, I don't think I'll have to replace the tape very often. Still, I wish the thing had worked right in the first place.
