Celestron 93402 T-Ring Adapter for Nikon Digital Cameras, Black

This item works great and better than expected based on the reviews.It snaps directly into my Nikon D80 with ease, and "feels" exactly the same as snapping in my fancy / expensive lenses. It did not require any extra pressure to snap in, and in no way did I feel like it didn't fit perfectly (some of the other reviewers seemed to have some issues with the fit). It even locks into place exactly like my normal lenses (to release you press the little lens release button on the camera body, just like a normal lense).I have an 8" Celestron telescope, and all I needed to do to take pictures was get this item (t-ring), plus the t-ring adapter (sold on Amazon as the Celestron 93625 Universal 1.25-inch Camera T-Adapter) than screws into this item, and the other end goes in the telescope (instead the usual eyepiece). So just get the T-adapter and T-ring and you'll be in business!In summary, this items is made well and fits perfectly ... exactly as it should. Highly recommended!

I was totally wrong about that. It fits perfectly and works well.

I like to perform a functions check on everything I buy right away just in case there is a need to return it right away. This one looked easy. Slip it on like a lens and screw onto the T-adapter. When I went for it, the T-ring grabbed the camera like a vice. I then screwed on the T-adapter and attached the whole contraption to the telescope. It certainly felt secure, so I have no apprehensions about using this setup with my camera. It was when I attempted to take off the ring that I found myself struggling a bit and even heard a somewhat unpleasant noise when the ring finally slipped off. I thought I'd damaged the camera, but a quick test with a lens confirmed that all was fine. Not content to leave it there, I practiced a few more times and now feel comfortable hanging on to this item.

Works great! Now I have a quick switch to mount my Nikon to photograph the coming solar eclipse.

Switch to MANUAL mode if it says “Lens not attached”. Worked for D3100.

This T-ring helps connect a Nikon F-mount camera body to a telescope. You usually need another part as well which depends on the telescope: a threaded T-adapter (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Celestron-T-Adapter-9-25-Black-93633/dp/B00009X3V8/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=t-adapter&qid=1579581211&s=electronics&sr=1-8) or a 2" focal T-adapter (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LY1NGDO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) or a 1.25" focal T-adapter.The camera is connected like this: telescope <- T-adapter <- T-ring <- camera. The T-adapter either threads onto or slides into the telescope, the T-ring threads onto the T-adapter, and then the T-ring is attached to the Nikon camera body. The T-ring connects to the camera body exactly the same way as a standard F-mount lens.Caution: This T-ring has confusing markings which can lead to a risky connection. There is usually a dot on lenses that the user aligns with a dot on the camera body before rotating the lens to secure it to the body. This T-ring has 3 dots on it, and only one of them is the correct one. The correct one has an additional small white dot next to it. Trying to use any of the other dots for alignment can result in an insecure fit (which could result in the camera detaching unexpectedly from the T-ring). Using the right dot led to the T-ring clicking into place for a secure fit on Nikon D90 and D5300 bodies.

The Material is like a metal it can fit for any Nikon Camera. I recently got this for Astrophotography Just gotta wait for the Camera.I will make a Video when I will get the e Camera 👍

mates to the DSLR body solid enough that i don't worry about it moving. I use it with a d200. Some times it takes a few rotations to find the notch where it slides off. t ring is all metal construction probably aluminum.some people complain it fits to tight but that is better then having it to loose or having wiggle room. Most of the Nikon mounts I have seen are stainless steal so you would have to really work at it to hurt the body.
