I do all my astronomy shopping at Astro Anarchy (used to be called Astro Pete's)
They are not all interchangable
There's 3 common eyepiece mount sizes.
.965in, common for el-cheapo department store junk.
1.25in, common for smaller good telescopes.
2in, common for larger size telescopes.
Filters are specific to each eyepiece barrel size.
Looking up the info on the F36050, it's got the .965in mount, so its eyepieces and filters will be unusable on your Saxon.
You'll have to buy new filters to use with your new Baader. That's the Bad News.
The Good News is Astro Anarchy carries a great range of filters to suit, so More Astronomy Shopping to do.

It was just a thought to recycle some telescope parts. I will get some filters later for my Baader lens when I deem it necessary. For now I will just enjoy my scope with the better lens and see where I go from there. I think that the F36050 will be gifted to someone hehe
Cheers
