I have finally got hold of some mounting rings the correct size to hold the Canon 300mm Fluorite lens. The doveplate in the pictures has lots of holes so the whole assembly should be able to be mounted on any setup with a piggyback mount somewhere near balance point. The cap screws will be inside the dovetail so everything is flush.

The other nice thing about correct size mounting rings you can rotate the whole lens and camera to frame your target in the optimum orientation.

The camera end of the lens I hope to have a universal T-mount with provision for adding 48mm filter(s). This is in the design stage still. If it was only for a Canon EOS it would be a lot easier. Could people let me know what cameras (brands and types) they are likely use with this.

If anyone can see where it could be made more universal ie fit your setup, please let me know.
