+Bino-viewer Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) ......and just ordered this off eBay. Hope its what i need to get my camera & scopes 'coupled' so i can try some basic astrophotography. There doesn't seem to be anywhere in the UK that stocks a T-ring thats compatible with the Fuji X - Mount.

+Bino-viewer Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 .....bit of a stab in the dark Ron. But it looks to be what i need (i think) Most t-rings i've seen here are literally just the ring which them screws into a standard adapter. This is a bit different. Be interesting to see how long it takes to arrive.......its shipping from GuangZhou, China. I don't normally buy eBay stuff from outside the UK, but this was only £9.17 & free shipping. Arrival time is quoted as Dec 30 - Jan 16 Wonder if i'll have to pay any duty etc........? Guess it won't be much though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Hi Rob, stuff I've bought from China takes 2 weeeks normally and I've never paid any duty on them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
