I suspect the adapter being referenced is a t-adapter.  I use one to connect my camera to a telescope.

I was actually hoping to spend part of this weekend getting to know features of the A99 that I haven't used yet, such as focus peaking.  I have a son who is an avid photographer (I got him started...
