Thank you for the clear and concise explanation on how to connect the Rokinon 135MM to an ASI camera. I just ordered your adopters (both mono and color). You have encouraged me to finally get my 135mm lens connected to my ASI533 Pro camera.
This was exactly what i was looking for. I use the 135 on my sony a7iii. I realized when upgrading to scope/mount that my ML camera needed a T2-NEX. Which adds alot of extra BFocus. Looking to run the asi585 with the 135mm.
I would be concerned about the four screws pulling out through the plastic of the adapter with all that weight hanging off them, with only the tiny screw heads anchored in thin plastic supporting it. What sorts of strength tests did you conduct to check on the tear out resistance of the screws?
Nick, looking to purchase hyperpod but just wondering if you have a version for Rokinon 85mm M43 lens and ZWO color camera. Thanks for sharing this solution for Sony
I have an MFT version of the lens and use an adapter to get it on my asi533mc. You can just get a filter inserted but it's very fiddly and got it stuck lots of times. If you can improve on that adaptor that would be brilliant. Maybe incorporate some filter slide out?
One of the most used "lenses" for astrophotography (other than Rokinon135mm) is the Tamron 150-600, and to a lesser degree, Sigma 150-600. I don't know if a straight out "Hyperpod " equivalent for this lens is achievable (which would be fantastic), but a focusing gear that would match up with the EAF and the gear you provide with the Rokinon Hyperpod might be of interest to many. I know the gear alone wouldn't be useful without a support structure for the EAF etc. , but I think I for one, could make it work.
I could not find the OSC adapter in your Etsy site. I have a setup with a 300mm Minolta MD lens > MD to NEX > NEX to 42mm female adapters > ZWO 485MC male 42mm thread. The backfocus is supposed to be 43.5mm from the lens flange to the camera sensor. The 300mm MD lens flange has 4 screws about 50mm across the diameter. I may have some tilt causing odd star shapes and would like to try your adapter for the ZWO one shot color camera and remove the bayonet mounts from the train.
I have a Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS III USM Lens and would like to do the same setup but with a monochromatic camera. Please offer some advise and help. Thank you 🙏🏽
This is good stuff and for the Nikon Samyang there is nothing alike in the market as far as I know (And I have been searching for several days). Before ordering, I want to be sure it is compatible with my Samyang with Nikon mount. I am wondering about this because the diameter of the Nikon mount throat is much smaller than that from Canon (I suppose it is the same for the different types of Samyang mounts?). And also I am not sure if these two mounts would have the same number of screws and with the same distribution. Another question is about roughness and durability. I learnt that it is made of PETG, 3D printed. Is it rough enough to withstand frequent screwing and unscrewing against a metallic thread? Is there any info on durability from users yet? How many kilos can I hang on the side of the camera without breaking the neck of the M48? The flange is not cheap, so additional information would sweeten the expense.
This mount is actually only meant for the Canon and Sony versions of the 135mm lens. I have tried it with other customers who had the Nikon version and it doesn’t work. The Nikon version has a much more complicated internal mechanism which is to complex for a 3d printed mount. Your best bet is to use existing lens adapters from Zwo that will work with your camera.
@@ThinkableCreations Thanks, bad news then. ZWO adapters are thick and meant for astro cameras (short optical path). A DSLR, even a mirrorles sony E, cannot be used (to start with, the optical path of the Sony E is 18 mm while the system is designed for the 17.5 mm of the ASI cameras).
Great video 👏👍 I have a ZWO EFW and 1600mm camera and am thinking about doing this! Question : Does your lens adapter fit a Sony E mount or is it just Canon EF? Question 2 : Do you ship to Sweden? Thanks Scott
That is best, but only if it is a canon lens. The original purpose was for a Sony version which doesn’t have any adapters. It does work on both though.
Hello good day, i already ordered this adapter and hyperpod 135 for my samyang last feb 2, 2024 but until now not yet recieve in the philippines.. can i follow up regarding my order status and where can i email you. Thank you

Right on Nick

I'd like to see the image quality from this setup😊
Love it!❤
Great stuff Nic, thanks for taking it on. 🌌🔭
Thanks! Be sure to let me know how it works for you.
@@ThinkableCreations will do, can’t wait for the delivery.
@@LayManSmart How did it go?

Thanks for this. I have the 135 but Fuji mount, this would still work the same way correct?
Go ahead and message me on Etsy and we can see if it will work for you.

Hi, this adapter is only for the Samyang/Rokinon 135mm lens and isn’t designed to work with other lenses sorry.
I have an old minolta maxuum 50 lens. I would love to put a zwo camera on it. Any suggestions
I have a Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS III USM Lens and would like to do the same setup but with a monochromatic camera. Please offer some advise and help. Thank you 🙏🏽
is the zwo t2-t2 11mm extender, the proper spacer for a OSC camera with filter drawer?

Do you make a pod for 50mm lenses?
Where do you put a light pollution filter?
Hello, is the vixen compatible to AM5 go to mount ? Thanks

Why not just use a canon to m42 adapter and use the canon version of the lens?
That is best, but only if it is a canon lens. The original purpose was for a Sony version which doesn’t have any adapters. It does work on both though.
@@ThinkableCreations appreciate the reply thank you!
