EBTOOLS

Machined adapters and one eyepiece camera

Fittings, not optics

Two of the three EBTOOLS products on this site are machined couplings: a 2 inch nosepiece with an M42 thread, a T-ring and coupling for a Canon body. Neither contains a lens, and the pages say so in their first line — one of them sits on the focal reducer shelf because of how it was catalogued, not because it reduces anything.

Why that matters

A reducer changes the focal length; an adapter joins two threads. Filing one as the other is a cataloguing accident, and on this site the page corrects the impression rather than inheriting it.

The camera

An electronic eyepiece camera, judged on sensor and frame rate like the rest of its shelf.

Check whether the part has glass in it. The shelf it sits on does not always tell you.
