Unlock the full potential of your Nikon DSLR for astrophotography with this precision-engineered M48 camera adapter. Designed specifically for full-frame sensors, this adapter reduces vignetting and maintains edge-to-edge clarity — a major upgrade over traditional M42 T-rings.
Featuring a large M48x0.75 mm internal thread and a clear inner diameter of 41.2 mm, it ensures unimpeded light flow for sharper, wider-field images. The ultra-thin 8.0 mm optical path makes it easy to maintain correct backfocus in modern imaging trains.
Constructed from matte black anodized aluminum, the adapter is lightweight, durable, and resists internal reflections — keeping your images crisp and contrast-rich.
