Question about compatibilty with Canon DSLR lenses

va3oso

Hello!

I've been researching an upgrade to a mono camera, filter wheel, and filters for use with my Canon DSLR lenses. I've found the combination of the following items to be what will suit my needs.

ASI 1600MM Cooled

ZWO EFWmini filter wheel

short EOS Lens Adapter for EFW & ASI1600

Can someone confirm that this setup will be compatible with Canon EOS lenses, and that they can focus to infinity?

Thanks.

I have that setup and it works well.

Thank you for the reply!

Can you share any images you've taken?

The flange to focal distance (flange to sensor) of the canon EF mount is 44mm.

For this camera, it is 17.5mm, so you'll need an adapter (and maybe spacers/thread adapters) that makeup the difference, or 26.5 mm.

Although I have this camera, I haven't tried it yet with Canon lenses but do have a fotodiox pro eos-c adapter I have used with other cameras. It is the right size (if threaded all the way in) in terms of depth.

However what you need for this camera is a T-mount, so you want and EF mount to T mount setup, that is 26.5 MM long.

Hmmm, looks like ZWO actually makes what you need (silly me):
