Hi

The spacer required for the ST8300C is not yet available, I have been in touch with SBIG about this and have expressed my displeasure after I was assured that the Canon EOS Adapter would fit either the C or M models. The last email I got from SBIG stated the adapter would be available two weeks ago, they have refused to answer my emails since.

Really quite annoyed, a better solution would be from PreciseParts or Hutech.

Cheers

I also want to use with EOS lense for wide field imaging.

Has someone here used the SBIG Camera adapters EOS Lens adapter for ST-8300 Cameras and whether the LPS filters can also be use. Not so clear on this although a mention of a spacer in lieu of filter wheel.

Waiting for clear skies.

cheers
