Lumicon 2" filter selector

Hi guys,

http://www.lumicon.com/mfs.htm

My lumicon filter selector arrived today....I have some issues with it and wanted to warn any future perspective buyers.

Firstly the quality of the make is very good and the actual selctor mechanism is also good...so whats the warning for well.

1) The 2" sleeve that would normaly fit a 2" focuser is very short and does not hold the selector in place very well...especialy once you add some weight like camera's.

2) Baader filters do not fit the selector...the thread size is correct but the Baader side walls are too deep...wont fit inside the selector...this is more of a personal problem then Lumicons and I will have to find a way to reduce the depth of the filters...ouch....any recomendations...and dont say a hacksaw.
