Note:

To attach a DSLR camera to this lens, you would need to use a correct T-ring (also known as T2 mount) for your camera make. Various types of T-rings are available in this store here. This telephoto lens has got M42x1mm mounting threads, but you can also use T-rings or other types of adapters with M42x0.75mm threads if you cannot find the rings with M42x1mm. The ring may not be able to reach all the way to the end of its threaded section, but the connection should be secure enough for the purpose of digiscoping.
