Fsq-85 + flattener 1.01x

Hi

I have an fsq-85 and want to use it with a full frame camera so purchased the 1.01x flattener. Unfortunately the camera I am using it with is the Canon EOS Ra, which therefore requires a wider than normal T-Mount to avoid vignetting but Takahashi don’t make one for the new Canon RF fit bodies (yet).

It will of attach happily to the RF-EF adapter but that means the flattener is now slightly further from the sensor than it would otherwise have been. I always understood that you don’t have much latitude with distance between the flattener and sensor so perhaps it will no longer produce a 44mm image circle?

If that’s true I’d have to image without the flattener which would no doubt be disappointing. Does anyone know if I would run into problems or not?

Alternatively does anyone know if I can buy a wide T Mount for the RF fit or is it possible for someone to make one?
