* Takahashi FSQ-85EDX f/5.3
* Takahashi FSQ-106EDX4 f/5

Significant price range across these options.

Can't seem to find anything suitable from APM, TEC or CFF.

Edit: William Optics Gran Turismo 81 IV f/5.9 (although it's not giving me as much difference as some of the other options). I noticed the Stellarvue were in a similar situation.

CFF makes a 92mm F6 and a 105 F7. The field flattener is good for a 16803 sensor (50% larger than full frame). A Riccardi reducer works with these
giving F4.5 for the 92mm scope and F5.25 for the 105 F7.
My CFF 105 F6 has a test report showing 99.4% strehl in green. That is best strehl ratio I have seen. Ex Zeiss optician. Very high end.

APM also do a 105 F6 I think unless its F6.5.
TEC smallest refractor is the 140mm. They did make a 110 F5.6 briefly. I get the idea these smaller scopes are not good money earners.
