Hi Steve

You don't actually use a lens. The T-ring attaches to the cameras bayonet mount (as a lens would). The other end of the T-ring attaches to a 2" barrel which then either slides into the focuser of your telescope or connects to a threaded "visual back" directly on the back of the scope. The telescope becomes the lens - which is known as "prime focus" photography.
