Takahashi lists its telescope-side thread as M54 x 0.75 male, and the camera side bayonets straight onto an F mount — mirrorless Nikon bodies need an F-to-mirrorless adapter in addition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt sits at the very back of the imaging train, the last ring before the camera itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good match if you shoot with a Nikon F-mount body and are building or completing a Takahashi wide-mount imaging train — the DX-WR wide ring, your Nikon body, and this T-ring connecting the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTakahashi builds the DX-WR to two different taper diameters, 49 mm for Nikon and 52 mm for Canon, and the rings aren't interchangeable between mounts — Canon shooters need the separate Canon EOS version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eM54 x 0.75 male telescope-side thread:\u003c\/strong\u003e threads onto Takahashi's wide-mount ring system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNikon F-mount camera side:\u003c\/strong\u003e bayonets directly onto a Nikon F-mount body.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWide taper design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Takahashi's DX-WR series uses a wider taper than the standard T-mount DX-S, aimed at reducing play with heavier bodies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Uses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrime-focus imaging with a Nikon body\u003c\/strong\u003e through a Takahashi telescope's wide-mount system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompleting a DX-WR imaging train\u003c\/strong\u003e alongside the matching wide ring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility and Accessory Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNikon F mount only.\u003c\/strong\u003e It isn't compatible with the Canon EOS version of this ring — the two use different taper diameters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads onto Takahashi's M54 x 0.75 wide-mount ring,\u003c\/strong\u003e not directly onto a telescope's drawtube.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBackfocus contribution:\u003c\/strong\u003e as the last part before the camera body, its contribution to total backfocus is normally worked out from your camera's own flange distance instead — send us your telescope and camera body and we'll work out the full spacing with you, alongside our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/takahashi-back-focus-guide\"\u003eTakahashi Back Focus Guide\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood to Know Before You Order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt needs the matching DX-WR wide ring\u003c\/strong\u003e ahead of it to complete the train — this ring alone doesn't attach to a telescope.
