If this belongs in the astrophotography section the mods can put it there, but I figured it was an accessory so... I have been trying to find a "lo-profile" adapter for prime focus photography with a fast (f4.9) scope that will also accept a filter. I wound up fabricating one from a Canon T-ring and an Olympus OM-1 adapter by splitting it apart and epoxying the 2 halves I needed together. It works fine, but there is no way to put a filter in it, which would be really handy. I know I can't be the only one who has come across this problem, but I have yet to find someone who has overcome this situation. Any ideas or a kick in the right direction would be greatly appreciated...:cool:
