Hmmm... I might have answered my own questions:

Q: What are the thread sizes on Lumicon filters?

A: The 1.25" filters employ industry-standard 1.125" x 42 tpi threads (except for Questar/Brandon, which use a thread pattern unique to Questar). The 48 mm filters employ industry-standard 48 x 0.75 mm threading, which thread into 2" eyepieces. All larger filters use the given size with 0.75 mm pitch (e.g. a 72 mm Minus Violet filter has 72 x 0.75 mm threads).
I found that on the Lumicon FAQ page: http://www.lumicon.com/faq.php

The only problem is the thread in the back of my 1.25"to 2" adapter is definitely not .75mm pitch... it's 0.6mm pitch.

Any one have some thread gauges that can verify? (Or doesn't this thread fit a 2" filter???)

Al.
