Hello James,<br />
Thank you for your message.<br />
I like very much the Samyang 135 f:2, both with my Canon EOS 1100D Astrodon inside, and my QHY178C CCD camera.I use it on my Star-Adventurer mount, thanks to the bracket I have designed and 3D-printed.<br />
You can purchase the bracket and the focuser ring on this page of my website :http://www.astrokraken.fr/samyang-135-f-2-3d-printed-bracket-for-astrophotography-a145105158<br />
On this page, you will see that :- The bracket includes the upper finderscope's dovetail, but not the finderscop's bracket itself.- The rings aren't hinged : no problem, the last version with hinged rigns will be provided if you order.- I propose 2 types of dovetails : Vixen, or "fast release".- You can add micro-focuser hinged ring to your cart.<br />
If you need a bracket for a 50mm mini-guidescope, I propose such an item on this page of my website :http://www.astrokraken.fr/short-legged-bracket-for-50mm-mini-guidescope-ball-head-dovetail-adapt-a136913418<br />
Of course, a combined shipping is possible, to reduce the shipping cost.<br />
Best regards,<br />
Philippe

Hi Philippe,<br />
I just purchased a Samyang 135mm lens for wide astrophotography. Do you like yours?<br />
I have numerous telescopes and am using an iOptron CEM60-EC for most of my imaging although I have a iOptron Smart EQ Pro. What does your nicely designed Samyang 135mm bracket cost? I'm very interested. Does it include the finder scope bracket and focusing ring as well?<br />
Sorry, I don't speak French!<br />
All the best,<br />
James Goodall<br />
