Huh ?
There are *three* adapters available.

The simplest costs US$99.

There is no price quoting yet in shopbot.com.au or priceme.com.au.

And all three mount EF lenses with full functionality, so mounting an EF / T mount adapter on a telescope will work as well (except AF obviously).
One version allows popping in filters, which can be used for Ha / OIII / CLS 48mm (2") filters for *all* EF lenses and telescopes + T ring. These filters are far cheaper and more available than the Astronomik XL clip-in filters.
