    Unknown lens mount problem

    Hi all,

    I have an old Photax 400mm f6.3 lens, and the lens to camera interface appears to be a 47mm internal (female) thread. I purchased a T2 to Canon EOS adapter but this also has a 47mm internal thread i.e. wrong sex.

    Does anyone know of a fix for this problem?

    Tony

    Thanks Kathy,

    Their listing doesn't show exactly what I want but I will contact them and ask if they can help. I am also into astrophotography and I see they carry a selection of very interesting astro related item.

    Hi Jim,

    Thanks for your input but what I have is a Photax lens not Pentax.
