Connect A Tmount To Your Camera For An Opteka Lens

Attach additional lenses to your SLR camera with the help of a T-Mount.


A T-mount is a device that attaches to an SLR camera, allowing you to hook up different makes and models of lens to your device. When using a T-mount on your current SLR camera you may attach an Opteka based lens onto the T-mount. This is extremely helpful if you already have Optecka lenses and don't want to purchase different brand equipment to use with the current camera, as new camera lenses are incredibly expensive.


Instructions


1. Push down the release button, found next to the lens on the camera. While pushing down the button turn the lens left until it unlocks. Slide the lens out and place it in a safe location.


2. Slide the T-mount into the lens's old location and twist to the right. This locks the T-mount into place.


3. Place the Opteka lens into the opening of the T-mount, then twist to the right. This threads the lens into the opening like a screw. Continue to hand tighten the lens until it no longer turns easily.


4. Hold the lens while taking a picture. Because the lens extends further off of the camera now it adds additional weight to the T-mount, making it more likely to break. Applying support to the lens with your hand helps prevent this from occurring.
