Canon 5D Mark III adapter for eye peice?

#1 Post by fibreoptix » Thu Jul 19, 2018 2:13 am

Does this even exist? I checked AM scope, Amazon and ebay. I found canon adapters but in the list of compatible cameras none list the 5d mark iii. I thought there would be tons.

Anyway. Does anyone here use a 5D miii in their eye piece? If so where did you get the adapter?

Im using an old Nikon Labophot scope with a trinoc head F type. Unfortunately I dont have the photo tube so i have to use the eyepeice. I found a tube on ebay but im not paying 150 bucks for a tube.

Any advice would be great. Thanks.

You may be able to couple your Canon lens (of around 60mm full frame equivalent focal length) to a 10x visual eyepiece, with lens step down adapter rings. But it depends on your specific eyepiece. For example, Nikon CFW10x eyepiece may need modification, before you can do it that way.

Works

Ordered the ca-can-slr from AMScope and bam works like a charm. Full screen and everything through the eye piece.

Now on to getting this thing to do phase contrast and dark feild.
