Which Focal reducer?

[prova]

350D should be arriving any day now and looking to purchase a focal reducer to suit my 4.5" Vixen APO.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have never tried it but this one (http://www.optcorp.com/product.aspx?pid=8451) is designed for your scope.

Reducer, or flattener, or reducer/flattener? That is the question.
With my 80mm f6 apo I need a flattener, and not really a reducer, but the only one that really works is the Televue 0.8x reducer/flattener, so you can see the quandary.
Unless someone can tell you for sure, you may need to trial a few.

Hmm I believe theres a WO 0.8x reducer/flattener, may need to look into that then?

Yes there is, two in fact, and there is a thread about this/them not too long ago.
