May I ask a really stupid question? Why change the habit of a lifetime, I hear you ask? I have just looked on the website and these are advertised as being 6 element flatfield scopes. I had understood this to mean that - like the Takahash FSQ scopes are supposed to do (and the WO Star 71) - these already produced a flatfield image. If so I am not sure what the spacers are doing. Yes you may need a spacer in there so that the limited travel on the focuser allows you to achieve focus, but altering the spacing by small amounts will simply mean that the focuser ends up at different physical places, not that the chip to rear element distance has changed.
Have I lost my marbles? It is possible.
I have seen a number of images from different Petzvals (I have had 3 x WO71s, for example). Some of these seem to show the corner effect that you get when you don't have the spacing correct between flattener and sensor in a triplet. Others seem to show the corner effect that you get when you have too much spacing between the flattener and sensor in a triplet.
I wonder if these corner issues (that I also got on my FSQ 85) could be down to spacing between the various lens elements. If so, I have no idea what can be done about that.
Caveat: I have no idea what I am talking about, and I am one of the first to scoff when some internet loon starts spouting nonsense about my area of expertise.
