Hi prodan

Bit late catching up on your post.

I have a number of takumar lenses and was really interested in how you connected the tak 1.4 to the zwo camera.

I do not own a zwo but I am thinking of ordering a asi174..….not sure about mono or colour although the colour will give me an easier optical train....I think.
