The Vixen 60DX Wide Photo Adapter is a professional-grade solution for connecting Nikon F-mount DSLR cameras to 60mm-threaded focusers in prime focus astrophotography setups. Engineered for full-frame image sensors, this adapter helps minimize vignetting and ensures consistent, edge-to-edge light transmission for clean, crisp astrophotos.
Built with reinforced materials and a brass inner ring, it provides long-lasting alignment and exceptional mechanical stability. The six resin-tipped locking screws secure your camera without leaving marks, and the included M5 grub screw allows use in tight, low-profile configurations.
Its 52mm internal diameter (up from the standard 43.5mm) and internally blackened surface effectively suppress stray light and internal reflections, enhancing contrast and improving flat-field performance—especially critical for long exposures.
Compatible with Vixen reducers, correctors, and a wide range of Vixen OTAs, this is the go-to Nikon adapter for serious astrophotographers who demand durability, precision, and clean image quality.
