Ok I am going to steer this in a different direction. I was interested in the Tru-Tek Superslim Filter Wheel but True Technologies are not returning my e-mails..no suprise there as I always have trouble getting a response from UK based companies.

Now I am looking at the Atik Manual Filter Wheel offered by Andrews Communications. Are these Atik FW really the same as the Orion FW sold by Bintel or is the Atik product better designed and constructed.

Orion/Atik are made by the same mob in Portugal, or so I'm led to believe. I have the Orion. It does the job.

I had noticed before that the Orion and Atik wheels look identical, right down to the "Made in Portugal" tag.

I know one guy who as the Atik EFW. He's happy with it. There have been a few queries about which filters will fit in some of the narrower wheels like these. He has Astronomiks in his and has no problems.

Atik have a new wheel and OAG in the pipeline - the EFW2,

Initial filter disk options include 5x50.8mm, 5x2" mounted, 7x36mm and 9x1.25" mounted.

but it has been delayed because they can't keep up with demand for their cameras. I'm tempted by this and a 383L+.
