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.

Yep - I knew that there are going to be three new RF-EOS adapters, so mounting existing T mounts will work. That's what I said.



But what I was alluding to was that there is not yet a native RF T mount available!



And in using the advertised adapters you are not *actually* going to gain any advantage over that of a 5DIV or 6DII since the subsequent flange mount to sensor plane distance is not going to change with said RF-EOS adapters. You are still going to hang an expensive camera requiring the purchase of yet another adapter (and possibly additional extenders to reach prime focus) at the end of the focusser.



Once vendors start making RF mount T adapters then that would be good as it would be very much like the other mirrorless solutions.
