I'm looking for a Vixen focal reducer. The same model as shown at http://www.optcorp.com/product.aspx?pid=105-172-173-9145

It should come with a M60 adapter which is usually included in the package with reducers along with M48 adapter. Both are shown at the link above.

If you have only a M60 with your reducer, that's ok because that the only one I really need.

Let me know if you have it and you'd loke to sell it.

cheers,

Mike

Not looking to sell mine sorry but if you have no luck finding one on the S/H market, I got mine from http://www.astro-optical.com.au/

Thanks Steve.

I actually ordered one with a VC200L OTA from them 6 weeks ago . I've got the OTA today but I've been told that Vixen probably won't do this model anymore. They are going to launch a new version of this reducer soon with some performance improvements.

I could wait for it but the problem is that I've already got all adapters to connect my QHY8 camera to the VC200L with the reducer and they've been made based on thickness of this model of reducer and M60 adapter that comes with it. So I'd rather prefer to buy a current version of it now than waiting for a new model and finding out that I also need to change something in my imaging train to achieve a focus with it.
