Reducers of Esprits?

[gorann]

I have now two Esprits, 100 and 150, and the dedicated SW Esprit flatteners. But I would really want reducers to to increase my options for the night. FLO tells me that the reducers sold for their EDpro seried does not work with the Esprits. So, does anyone know what works with the Esprits? It is not only a matter of optics but also of matching threads and finding adapters, as allways.....

I'd be interested in knowing this too but i'm afraid so far my research tells me that there is nothing that works with them

Would the TS one here not work?  It has a large aperture and works on the 2.5" focusers and on various focal lengths.

I've not tried it but may be worth dropping them a line?

Just that I recently read somewhere that they tried a 0.79 reducer and did not get the scope into focus. Not sure if it was a TS one (and they have two, 2" and 3") and I cannot find the thread. I just hoped someone here was happily using a reducer with their Esprit.....
