Help with mirrorless

[polar olive]

I have ordered a canon m5, currently using a rebel xsi with my z61, flat61r and wa cannon eos m48 t ring, will I need a new t ring or will this one work?

[minor anvil]

You’ll need a m-mount adaptor. You can find them on aliexpress and such.

Thanks picked one up of amazon. I assume if my back focus was correct with my xsi it will be with the ef-m t ring aswell ( the flatnner reducer is adjustable also)

[minor anvil]

The ones like this will have the correct back focus

You can also get adapter rings like this, which don’t have the correct back focus but depending on what you’re doing that may be what you want

is there still time to return the m5

how much did you pay for it and are you going to use it for only astro or what

[polar olive]

Astro mainly. Paid 250 pounds @dawn thorn

[minor anvil]

Is the M5 bad? Thought it was supposed to be Ok. At least it has a bulb mode, unlike my M10.

The reviews I've read have said it has a decent sensor. ( think I read its the same as the 80d) @minor anvil

[minor anvil]

Yeah, the sensor’s the same as the conventional DSLRs but in a smaller package. Trouble with that range is that they were hobbled by terrible Powershot firmware but IIRC the M5 and M50 escaped that.

[polar olive]

Fantastic either way its a huge upgrade over the rebel xs I currently use @minor anvil

[dawn thorn]

ehh I don't think it's really worth the price

[dawn thorn]

the nikon d5300 has a better sensor and is cheaper

just a dslr if you care about that

[winged ember]

d5300 also has raw compression tho

I'd get a newer nikon where you can at least turn that off

[dawn thorn]

i heard pix can remove weird sensor stuff on the d5300 but idk

[winged ember]

It can be iffy

I’ve seen some that it can’t get out
