The Hawke SLR T2 Camera Adaptor (Nikon) converts a spotting scope into an ultra-telephoto prime lens by attaching a Nikon DSLR camera body directly to digiscoping optics. This precision-machined mechanical ring replaces the standard camera lens, locking onto the camera bayonet to eliminate light leaks and maintain rigid optical alignment. Because it is a passive aluminium interface without electrical contacts, exposure is managed via manual (M) or aperture-priority (A) camera modes, while focus is controlled directly using the spotting scope focus mechanism.

Key Features:

• Digiscoping Conversion: Integrates a Nikon DSLR directly onto compatible spotting scopes to capture high-magnification terrestrial and wildlife imagery.
• Precision Threading: Features an internal female T2 thread designed to thread securely onto matching scope eyepiece sleeves.
• Passive Mechanical Build: Functions without internal wiring or external power, serving as a dedicated structural mount.
• Rigid Optical Alignment: Metal construction eliminates flex and maintains optical centring between the camera sensor and the scope eyepiece.

Specifications:

• Camera Mount Compatibility: Nikon F Bayonet Mount
• Optics Interface Thread: Standard T2 internal female thread (M42 x 0.75mm metric pitch)
• Model Number: 64000
• System Requirements: Requires a scope-specific Hawke Digi-Scope eyepiece adapter sleeve (sold separately) for complete attachment
• Operation: Manual focus and manual/aperture-priority exposure control

Who is the Hawke SLR T2 Camera Adaptor Nikon for?

• Long-range wildlife photographers — Couples Nikon F-mount camera sensors directly to spotting scopes via standard M42 x 0.75mm metric pitch T2 threading, turning spotting optics into high-magnification telephoto setups for distant subjects.
• Birdwatchers recording observations — Utilises the rigid M42 x 0.75mm female thread connection to securely align Nikon DSLR bodies to field optics, eliminating light leaks when documenting distant species.
• Hunters conducting long-distance target confirmation — Mounts Nikon F-bayonet DSLRs to spotting scopes via the standard T2 M42 x 0.75mm interface to capture clear photographic records of shot placement and target details at extreme ranges.

Less suitable for: Photographers using Nikon Z-series mirrorless camera bodies without an intermediary FTZ adapter; users requiring native mirrorless attachment should select a dedicated Z-mount T2 adapter ring.
