Camera adapter thread changed from SP 54 to M43(SONY) for a variety of afocal camera adaptations
Accepts photo-adapter HTA43T2 (M42x0.75) for easy and rigid adaptation of various DSLR-T-Mount rings

So looks like it is not included, I would be buying from optcorp or similar eg bhphoto with out dollar..I think it's down to about 250US
Thank you so much for the info and clearing that up Daniel I really appreciate it. Now to shop around for somewhere that can do both the EP and the adaptor.

The current Hyperion Zoom eypiece will need the following adaptor: Hyperion Zoom T-Ring SP54 - T2 Part Number 2958085

Hyperion Fixed Eypiece uses a different adaptor as follows:
Hyperion T-Adaptor M43 - T2 Part Number 2958080


I fell into the trap of thinking one adaptor did it all, but found it not to be the case, and many people will take a guess at this.. The adaptor you need for the zoom lense will cost you around $15 - 20 dependent on where you purchase from. Look for a Baader Dealer.. I purchased one of mine overseas and the other from Bintel if I remember...


I hope this clears things up for you.


Very Best Regards
Mardy
Thank you so much for the information and clearing that up Mardy I read somewhere online and Daniel mentions it here as well that the thread has changed now on the mark III zoom to M42 to match the fixed ones. Is your zoom a mark III?
