Withdrawing from sale as I'm not getting any interest

Selling a Mallincam MFR-10, a 2 inch format Focal reducer (0.5x) and coma corrector combo.

It is ​Recommended for SCT, RC, Refractors of F/6.0 and above (as per the blurb)
But I've used it on a big Newtonian and it seems to work like a coma corrector and 0.75x reducer but only for small chip cameras (worked about ok with my ASI 533 camera)
Optical quality is good.

Images attached were taken with a Skywatcher 300p synscan dobsonian and this focal reducer/corrector combo. The combo gave me an effective focal length of 1200 mm (reduced from the native 1500mm of the Skywatcher 300p)
That dob is also for sale on here BTW :)

I asked this from Mallincam:
Hi,
I have a MFR-10 reducer/coma corrector.
Does it work with Maksutov design telescopes?
Thank
Ahmed

yes the MFR-10 will work with the optical tube you have.

Kindest Regards,
