OK, I'm almost ready to start digiscoping, except for one small problem.
Well, you see, I needed a lens adapter to convert my camera to a 55mm thread, so I purchased an Oly CLA-4 adapter. Problem is, when I measured the diameter of the adapter tube that came with my scope, it was, at the time, 43mm. A search on bhphoto.com yielded no results of step-down rings for that particular size (55mm to 43mm). So my dad thought we could purchase two step-down rings. the first one, which works is a 55-52mm ring. The second, a 52-43mm ring, did not fit!
So we remeasured the thread width of the scope's adapter, and discovered that I was off by at least a millimetre. But there are no step-down rings for any sizes in the 42mm-41mm range... the only one close enough is the 40.5mm adapter... the telephoto adpater that came with my scope seems to be a 42mm, most likely.
Since we don't want to send the incorrect ring back, we thought it would be easier to buy yet another step down ring to step down from 43mm to the 42mm thread diameter of the scope's adapter.
If anyone knows a company that sells step-down rings that allow fitment of 42mm lenses, please let me know, and a website would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
