  • Unboxing and assembly of the Astrodymium Ring System from Agena Astro Products for the Samyang/Rokinon 135mm F/2.
    This is not a paid review, I bought it with my hard earned cash. I am not affiliated and don't make a penny if you buy it.
    That being said, I really like this little guy! It's honestly just what I was looking for. Other than mounting my camera to a plate and letting the lens just dangle off the end, this solves the problem of mid mounting the Samyang and giving me a place to mount a guide scope and astroberry. I'm pretty pleased! Now I just need some clear skies to break it in!

    I can't wait to see your wide-angle view of the entire Orion constellation from M42 to horsehead, even the entire far nebulosities, taken with this setup. Especially if you have an IR-modified camera or filters.

      I have both full frame and crop Canons Baader modified, so I will definitely be shooting Orion in widefield this season!

      Awesome! Mine has not let me down yet. I look forward to getting some more videos out as soon as can clear up some health (and weather!) issues. Thanks for the comment! Where in Scotland are you? I do get there occasionally...

    Will this work for any camera, or do I have to purchase different kits if I have different cameras? I have a Canon APSC and a Nikon full frame. My lens is fir the Nikon, but easily adaptable to Canon.

      This kit is specific to the lens, I have used it with both dslr and dedicated astro cameras successfully!

    Hello, do you know if it is valid for samyang 135 vdslr t2.2? Thanks for the information...

    • @astromeathead1910
      @astromeathead1910  2 роки тому

      To be honest, I'm not sure. If you know the measurements of both, you could compare them. Try the Cloudy Nights forum...I'm sure someone has done a comparison on these lenses, including size differences.

    Did they provide the screws to attach to a Vixen dovetail plate?

    • @astromeathead1910
      @astromeathead1910  2 роки тому

      The screws included were only the ones I described. There were 2 screws that fit the bottom holes of the rings. They are fairly shallow socket head screws that fit very well in the random 6" Celestron plate I had lying about. Your mileage may vary...some plates may not have the proper screw hole spacing, so if you are buying one, make sure you look for a slotted plate.

    nice, what do you think about an astrograph called Askar 180PRO ? its a 40mm diameter and f4.5 thanks

  • @josh1000f
    @josh1000f Рік тому

    How does it attach to your mount? It seems like the tracking scope is in the way.

    • @astromeathead1910
      @astromeathead1910  Рік тому

      The rings attach to a Vixen rail and slide right into the mount. The guide camera just clears the camera body. It fits and works very well. This is my most used rig.

    0:36 Amazing lens. But I have to disagree with you when you say, it's almost as good as L series Canon but Some disagree. 0:36 . That is to say, even if they disagree, it is not the way you may think.
    Listen to the king, the Gold Standard of UA-camr lens testers, The legendary "Christopher Frost" and his reviews of this lens, when first showed up, seven years back and you get me. I leave a Link to that conversation but in the next comment as YT does remove my comments if there is a net address in it.
    Please make sure to listen from point of the time stamp in my link up to at least 4:20 min of that link.
    Enjoy

      I agree that in a studio setting or in daylight photography, the L series is a much better option. For this application (astrophotography) the Samyang 135mm that I own far outshines the Canon 135mm L that I own. I absolutely prefer the Samyang for night shooting, as I have no purple fringing or chromatic aberration whatsoever at f/2.8, whereas my Canon typically needs to be stopped down to f/5.6 or more to lose the anomalies (c.a. will typically be greatly reduced at f/4 unless you are pixel peeping, but fringing from purple to blue occurs all the way to f/8 in some circumstances). The a/f motors in the Canon restrict a bit of the light passing through the barrel and that may account for some of it, but the way the elements/ groups are configured in the Samyang just allow for great low light responsiveness.
