how much does your EOS t ring rattle

[traveller (Bo)]

I seem to have a couple of dud EOS t rings
They click into place ok, but there is still a bit of rotational play and a bit rattly. At first I thought I have a due T ring so I got a different one, same thing. I even tried my old Nikon T ring (tight fitting, no play) mated to a Nikon/EOS adapter, same thing
Can anyone recommend a tight fitting EOS T ring, or are they all a bit rattly?
Thanks
Bo

I've got the same problem Bo, bought mine from bintel and it has a lot of play in it and rattles.
So i was searching ebay for a second one and found this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/180894231278 it ships from hong kong but it fits as snug as bug.

Thanks Paula, I take it that is for your 1100D? I have a 40D, I know they are all Canon, but you never know.
Searching through the old threads, I came up with this one, http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=41348
It seems my problem is not isolated.
I removed the grab screw and the rotation play is not as bad as before, but still annoying. I will have a look that seller.
Thanks,
Bo

Yep its for my 1100d, hmm i'm going to have to have a look at my t-ring now too thanks for the link Bo.

which part is rattly? the part that clicks into the camera, or the T-thread part?

I know mine rattles a bit if i have loosened the grub screws to adjust its angular position.

Suggest you look at the Baader planetarium version...very tight machining, no vignetting. Not cheap but doesn't rattle either

Hi Bo,

I also bought mine through ebay and it fits perfectly. I have a 60D

here is the link http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Canon-EOS...item3a784c88b1

Basically it's where the bayonet of the camera body mates onto the notch of the T Ring. The notch is slightly larger than the bayonet, hence the rotational movement and rattle.

Thanks Peter, that looks like the job!

ah yeah, i know the problem, one of my t-rings used to do that, new one doesnt and was cheaper iirc.

I just checked mine and it is tight fitting. (T2 adaptor for Canon 500D) I bought it from The Camera house in Adelaide City for $35.00. The brand marked on the packing is Digital Pro.
This info may be of some use

Bo,

Get yourself some teflon tape from Bunnings in the plumbing section. Works a treat and you adjust the layers to suit.
