Help needed with camera set up - Nikon D7500 & Swift SW350T

#1 Post by Balfroni » Sun Oct 17, 2021 5:03 pm

Hi,

Please can anyone help me with my camera set up. I have just got my Swift SW350T and am trying to take photos with my Nikon D7500.
I got the following today from Amazon but the t mount goes into the camera stem slightly loose and the lens does not seem to fit anything.

Questions
1. Is the 0.5 lens worth having?
2. Do I need an extra part to connect everything?
3. Any suggestions to fit the camera better ( I could use some plumbers tape to make the fit better in the camera port)

Thanks,

Balfroni

Make sure you look at the photos on krebsmicro, they are a treat. As to the articles, they are invaluable .

Hi,
Thank you for the links. I thought they would fit together but guess I need the tube. All complicated. But I hope to work it out soon. The photos on the second link are amazing.
