Help with Rokinon Lens to Camera Mount

#1

Post by sdbodin »


I was just asking Santa for a 135mm f2 and thought that I don't know how to mount it to my T2 cameras, Atik, Zwo. So, What mounting type or adapter is needed to go from the Rokinon to camera?? Not much info on the official Rokinon web site and didn't spot anything on a quick web search.

Help appreciated,
Steve

Hi Steve,

Will the camera's connector end be configured for Canon, Nikon, Fuji, etc? I think we need to know this to provide an answer. For my Canon lenses, I use the adapter from ZWO.

Thank JT,

Any will do, I don't own a DSLR, just need to get it to T-mount. I guess Canon would be fine as it is somewhat universal anyway.

Thank again,
Steve

Then the part I linked to above will work and that's all you need.
