Nikon F-adapter for Kyowa Model RFB-7
I recently bought a Kyowa Medilux-12 trinoculaire.
It came with a camera-adapter Model RFB-7 also by Kyowa.
https://www.graysonline.com/lot/0237-50 ... hment-mino
I just have the camera adapter (I don't have the camera)
As far as I can tell there is a Minolta MD adapter that connects the RFB--7 to a minolta camera.
However I only have Nikon D300 camera's.
So my question is if somebody can help me find an F-mount adapter that fits this RFB-7 so I can mount my Nikon camera to it.
The closest thing I could find was:
https://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-Adapter ... =8-1-fkmr1
In this case I would have to adapters on top of each other. Probably not very elegant but I assume this could work.
Any thoughts ont his?

That’s an interesting looking deviceTailgunner wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 1:30 pmI recently bought a Kyowa Medilux-12 trinoculaire.

... Can you post some more photos, please ?
It’s just possible that the Minolta fitting is on a T mount thread

I took some photo's from the adapter:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing
Now, the adapter itself for the camera has no thread. There are three setscrews that fasten the camera-adapter.
The part of the housing where the adapter is connected to has a V-shape, so that the set screws hook behind it.
The outer diameter of this part is the housing is +- 50 mm. (inside diameter of adapter is 49mm).
I was also able to unscrew the silver ring. This has a thread on it. The outside diameter of the thread on this part of the housing is 56 mm.

That looks very much like one half of a T-mount
... more this evening

FWIW, the inner filter thread on Minolta (film cameras) MD lenses is 49mm.

I took another measurement of the thread on the housing and it is a male thread 55.7 mm x 0.75 mm pitch.

Wouldn't this work?;

If I were to remove the inner ring that is fastened with those Allen bolts I think I could mount it to the 50 mm diameter V-shaped part of the housing.

... That [which is basically what I was intending to discuss] would almost certainly work.
