FSQ106 lens cell

Post by highqe »

I'd appreciate it if anyone can advise me of the thread pitch and diameter of the Takahashi FSQ106 EDXIII objective cell,

with the view to making a screw in adapter for a Coronado SM90.....unfortunately precise parts do not have this on their data-base.

Alternatively a link to a suitable commercial adapter would be appreciated.

Hi,

The most accurate information you will get from Takahashi itself.

If you are in the USA write to Takahashi America or if you are in Europe write to Takahashi Europe.

Tell him Rainer Ehlert from Mexico gave you his e-mail adress. He is very helpful.


regards Rainer

Hi,

I just looked into my FSQ-106 ED first generation and saw that it has two rings on the front. The foremost one has no thread and then comes a second with thread but the diameter of the front one would not allow to thread something into the second ring with thread as it has exactly the same diameter and so a thread would not fit through the first ring.

Perhaps the EDXIII is built different.

:? :? :?
