Hi Zut, how exactly do you use this? Can you attach a coma corrector and focus at the sametime?

cheers.

It has a fitting that makes it the same chip distance as an EOS. The fitting is a T-ring type, the same as that on the canon.

So for example, i would fit the same T-ring that i use to connect my canon then add the field reducer or maybe my 2 inch nose piece and a filter to that, whatever i plan to connect to the canon for the nights imaging i connect to the stiletto, focus, then remove and fit it all to the canon.

Hope this helps

Paul

hmm thanks Paul that makes sense. Might be difficult for me as i need the coma corrector to be the right distance as the cmos chip.

[Zuts]

No worries,

As i said, or tried to say after a few beers, the Stiletto behaves exactly like a canon. Whatever you connect to the imaging train you connect to the stiletto, focus, then remove the Stiletto and connect the Canon. Including a Coma corrector.

The chip distance is from the front of the Stiletto T-ring to the ronchi screen inside the Stilletto.

actually i didnt get it before now i do. pretty much once you get perfect focus withthe Stilletto, lock the focuser down hard , take the Stilletto out then replace it with the canon?

[Zuts]

That is the idea, yes :)

Edit

It would work with your 40D, but with live view you may not need it, then again ... :)

Would this work with a film camera as well as digital. (Can't see any reason it shouldn't :shrug: )

[Zuts]

The idea would work. STI produces a basic unit with replaceable adaptors for Canon, SBIG, Pentax etc. My one is for a Canon digital.

Basically, it would only work if the distance to the film is the same as the distance to the chip.

Unfortunately I don't think it is. From memory the film plane is 45mm from last lens element in the EOS500 and 50mm chip/lens for 300D.

Thanks
