What is there to say? Nikon is always nikon, reliable and great flash.

I love this mount. It is not compatible with the Nikon FTZ adapter unless you move it from the body to the adapter or buy another mount just for the adapter. I’ve hike a couple mountains and bustled through crowds without fail using this mount.

Part 1 - Minolta MD to Sony NEX adapterTechnically, it slightly overshoots infinity but the issue is easily corrected by dialing back the focus ring just a tad --- Not exact but clearly better than not-at-all.Although very light due to extensive aluminum usage, the build quality and fit-and-finish of the adapter is superb. Connections on the lens and camera mount sides are tight and precise --- absolutely, zero slop. The top of the lens release button is flattened making the lens removal process very easy and comfortable.Other notes:- There are no electrical connections so focus and zoom must be done manually on the lens itself- When mounting the lens, turn the adapter clockwise till you hear a "click"- Tested with a Minolta 85mm f/1.7 Rokkor-X MD lens mounted to a Sony a6000 camera-----------------------Part 2 - Nikon Ai to Sony NEX adapterEdit: Based on my positive experience with the Minolta MD adapter, I also purchased the Nikon Ai adapter later.As with the Minolta MD adapter, the Nikon Ai version focuses beyond infinity a tiny bit. Fortunately, the same solution applies - dial back the focus ring and the horizon will become crystal clear. The build quality is impeccable and the finish is smooth and clean of burrs or machine marks. Connections on both sides are taut and precise with zero play.Additional notes for Nikon Ai adapter:- No electrical connections present so focus and zoom must be done manually on the lens.- Unlike the Minolta MD adapter, mounting the lens for Nikon adapter requires a counter-clockwise turn until you hear the "click" of the locking mechanism- Tested with a Nikon Micro Nikkor 55m f/2.8 Ai-S MF lens mounted to a Sony a6000 camera

Easy to use, really no loss of effective aperture, just rotate clockwise or it tends to loosen

Awesome... very good optics and big aperture for night shots! A must have.

if you are even remotely interested in Astronomy then this is quite a good starter telescope. There are quite a few telescopes in the $400-$700 range that youmay want to consider. For example a $700 Dobsonian with the larger 8 inch aperture will probably give you better views however for beginer I think this is an incredible telescope because of the go to future. This telescope can be used to look at deep space objects however keep in mind that everything you see will be monochromatic. In addition do not expect nice beautiful pictures like you would see with astrophotography. Large galaxies such as Andromedea can be visualized. Nedulae while they can be visualized but will appear as small gray smudges. Therefore have reasonable expectations before buying any telescope. The go to feature is nice and fairly accurate when alignment is done correctly. Which means the tripod has to be leveled with built-in level. It is better to find out the coordinates of your site by going to a map such as iTouch map. Make sure you entered the time correctly since this will determine what Celestial objects are visible at that time. I also use software apps: google sky maps, astro panel and SKEye which are very helpful. Overall I can visit her weight started telescoping. Having used this for the last few months I cannot wait to upgrade to a larger aperture telescope in a few years.

Great for work. f-stop and Aperture is amazeballs. Trust me.

Great picture and reliability, decent aperture for bokeh
