The 41114 Photoadapter Push Fit SDL
connects HR, ES, GS & MM3 telescopes
fitted with SDL 40935/40936 eyepieces
to either SLR/compact system cameras
(CSCs) or compact cameras with a
compatible ø28mm lens mount or
converter tube.
Assembly and Fitting (all camera types)
1. Make sure the correct eyepiece is
fitted securely to the telescope.
2. Set the eyecup to the down position.
3. Fit the correct step ring to the
photoadapter; 44~42 for SLR/
compact system cameras, 44~28 for
suitable compact cameras.
4. (SLR/CSC only) Attach the
optional 41115 SLR EP adapter.
Recommended for use with 40935
SDL eyepiece.
5. Pre-set the eyepiece magnification
according to set-up;
(i) SLR + 40936 SDLv2 eyepiece.
Set to lowest magnification.
(ii) SLR + 40935 SDL eyepiece. Set to
HR 66 36x, HR 80 48x, ES 80 40x,
ES 100 54x, GS 52/MM3 50 24x,
GS 665 32x.
(iii) 40936 SDLv2 or 40935 SDL
eyepiece + 41115 SLR EP adapter.
Set to lowest magnification.
(iv) Compact camera/camcorder.
Set eyepiece to lowest magnification.
6. Place adapter over the eyepiece
and push down until the internal
wall contacts with the end of the
eyepiece.
7. Hold the main section of the adapter
secure and tighten the locking screw.
8. (SLRs & CSCs) Fit an appropriate
T-mount between the SLR adapter or
photoadapter and the camera body.
9. (Compatible compact cameras)
Connect the camera lens mount
to the 28mm thread on the
photoadapter.
Notes
1. If you find the camera is at an odd angle
when attached - loosen the locking ring,
rotate the camera into line and re-tighten.
2. Focusing is facilitated on the telescope.
3. Camera may need to be operated
in manual mode with shutter locks
disengaged where necessary.
4. The high magnification to aperture ratios
result in slower shutter speeds compared
with conventional telephoto lenses so
choose an IS0 setting of 400. For 35mm
SLRs 400 ASA film is recommended. If
possible use a cable release or remote
control to reduce camera shake when
operating the shutter.
