Hi Daniel

I've been researching a bit since the last post - no I haven't found an outright solution yet - but I've discovered some documentation from the HoTech website in particular reference to my HoTech FF and indeed it seems that the spacing from the end element of the FF has to be overall a maximum of 55mm to the sensor chip!!

And yes there is a supplier of those "T2-male-to-female" extenders; see here: http://myastroshop.com.au/products/cam-adapt.asp - I'll be ordering the 40mm one for myself as it seems that I've not been using the FF in the correct fashion as regards to the spacing - apparently this 55mm spacing is the same spacing for the EOS camera as I've noted this figure being always mentioned in many articles on the internet

Have to wait till next week since it's a long weekend here

HTH
Cheers
Bill
