At a hefty $350.00 AUD (not including postage) I'd rather not take the chance without researching The Intes Brand a little more. I haven't found any negatives on it so far, which I suppose is a good sign

At those prices though, I wonder if I should just get a $50.00 2" GSO .5x focal reducer and a Ba'ader fringe killer/semi APO filter? If I can get my LCD Digital Optical Filter Project up and running effectively ASAP I might not even need the filter!

Thanks very much for the info Mike If I do get the Intes one I'll let you all know how it performs.
