For example, on an ASI533MC Pro, you would unthread the 11mm T2 ring. The ZWO T2-M43 adapter then threads directly onto the camera's main body, establishing the correct spacing for Micro 4\/3 lenses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"DAV-accordion-Q\"\u003eCan I use this adapter with a full-frame sensor camera?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion-A\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile you can physically attach it to a T2-threaded full-frame camera (if back focus allows), it is not recommended.
