I want to replace the eyepiece filter and I have my PST disassembled.
Beloptik website says I need to replace both barrel and eyepiece filters.
Maier is getting mixed results from users.
I don't know all the technical jargon... trying to learn... does the beloptik give a better image vs the Maier?

Nick,
The Maier ITF filter is a very good replacement for a damaged PST ITF.
It’s a drop in replacement.

39N84w,
The Beloptik site shows replacements for both the ITF filter and the final blocking/sort filter.
99% of the time it’s only the ITF which fails. You shouldn’t need to replace the blocking filter.

Re: Maier or Beloptik PST
Beloptik only sell the ITF, their site states that the ITF will only work safely with the original block/sort filter from your BF unit, it's not a stand alone filter. The Beloptik filters are as good as the maier ones and are direct drop in replacements for the coronado ITF's.

Gus,
I misread the Beloptik page.
You are correct, they only supply the replacement ITF
