The ZWO Filter Drawer for Nikon Lens allows you to attach any ZWO Pro model camera (cooled) to a Nikon F mount lens while also allowing the use of 2" filters. This accessory is ideal for astrophotographers with cooled color ZWO cameras and Nikon F mount lenses. Please see the full compatibility list below to ensure this adapter is correct for your camera.
There are four Nikon lens to ZWO camera adapters:
- ZWO Filter Drawer for Nikon Lens # FD-Nikon - best for color cameras with use of a 2" filter (this product)
- ZWO Nikon Lens Adapter for ZWO 2" Electronic Filter Wheel # EFW2-Nikon - best for large format monochrome cameras that use a 2" filter wheel
- ZWO Nikon Lens Short Adapter for ZWO 1.25”/31mm/36mm Electronic Filter Wheel # EFW-NIKON-II - best for small format monochrome cameras that use a 1.25"/31mm/36mm filter wheel
- ZWO T2 Thread to Nikon Lens Adapter for all ASI Cameras # NIKON-T2-II - best for connecting most ZWO cameras without the need for quickly changing filters
Compatibility with Nikon Lenses:
This adapter is compatible with Nikon F mount (DSLR) lenses only. It is not compatible with Nikon mirrorless lenses. NOTICE: G-type Nikkor lenses need to find some way to open the aperture up (for example, by using an orthodontic rubber band to hold the little aperture tab on the lens in the “open” position.)
Compatibility with ZWO Cameras:
This ZWO adapter allows you to attach a Nikon F mount lens to almost all ZWO cooled cameras (except ASI GT series). The filter drawer is designed to work at 17.5mm back focus to the sensor, so if you have a smaller format ZWO camera like the ASI533MC Pro or ASI294MC Pro, you will need to have the 11mm extension that came with the camera attached.
It has a female EOS bayonet mount on the lens side and a male T/T2 (M42x0.75) thread on the camera side. This will connect directly to all ZWO cooled cameras with APS-C size or smaller cameras. Also included is an M54M-M42F adapter which allows you to use this filter drawer with full frame ZWO cameras like the ASI6200MC Pro.
Compatibility with Filters:
Please see the image below showing the size of the filter cell. It is compatible with most 2" filters with filter cells (not including the threads) that are 7.5mm and thinner.
How to Connect the ZWO Filter Drawer for Nikon Lenses
The included M54M-M42F adapter is needed when connecting to full frame cameras like the ASI6200/2400.
Mechanical Drawing:
Specifications:
- 70mm diameter
- 29mm (thickness)
- M42*0.75 male (external) thread (camera side)
- M48*0.75 female (internal) thread (filter end)
- Suitable for 2-inch astronomical filter
Please Note: It is common for the silver plate on one side of this adapter to have several light scuff marks right out of the box. These items are new as received from ZWO, and these marks are purely cosmetic.
