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

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.

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?

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 )

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
