Accessory request! Need a 2" -36mm adapter!!

tempus

ZWO now sells a 2"-1.25" adapter. (https://astronomy-imaging-camera.com/product/2-1-25filter-adapter-ring)

A 2"- 36mm would be very useful!! Do you plan on making one??

Thank you

We will make an adapter based on the large amount of need.

I am not sure I understand your statement. Does it mean you are making an adapter now or you are waiting you get requests? This is my request!

36mm filters are MUCH cheaper than 2 inch filters. If an adapter was available, a lot more people would buy an APS-C cooled camera such as the 2600MM.

Making a "2" -36mm" adapter makes more sense than a "2"-1.25" adapter". 1.25" filters will vignette A LOT on an APS-C camera. 36mm filters will not be a problem with an APS-C camera. That would save a lot of money for ZWO camera users and make them buy more ZWO cameras like the 2600MM!! I would buy those adapters right away!! 7 of them!! and buy the 2600MM.

Please understand we don't make customized adapter just for one customer. We will only consider it when we receive many same requests. But I will record this. Thanks!

Please consider another request…

An alternative would be to make the 36mm filter wheel opening bigger. 36mm filters do not vignette on my telescope but the restrictive output (telescope) port 42mm thread is an issue. By the time an adaptor is screwed in to the port the diameter reduces to about 39mm and this has quite an effect with faster optics. Please make available another face plate for the 36mm filter wheel with an m48 or m54 opening. m48 or m54 is a far more sensible option than m42.

Thanks
