Warning:  

 

Some   Canon   EF-S   and   Nikon   DX   and   compatible   lenses   for   APS-C   sensor   cameras

protrude quite a bit behind the lens flange and could possibly interfere with a filter.  Use caution

when installing a lens for the first time.

and integrates our popular Filter Slider for easily switching filters.  Models are available for both
Canon and Nikon lenses.  Use your CCD camera with a camera lens and open a new world of wide-

field astrophotography!
