F/6.3 Focal Reducer

I purchased the Antares f/6.3 SCT Focal Reducer for use on my C8. JUst got around to trying it out the other day. I found a couple of problems straight away:

1. Cannot reach focus with the Crayford focuser attached
2. Attaching the camera or EP directly to the visual back I can reach focus but not with a diagonal attached.

These problems limit its usefulness.

I was under the impression these problems were were fixed with FR's in general a few years back? Was I sold an older version?

Cheers, Rob
