Using a filter in the William Optics Zenithstar 61

[Space Oddities]

Hello!

I believe it's possible to squeeze a filter inside the field flattener of the William Optics 61mm / TS Optics 60mm, but I am not sure of the size... Is it the standard 2"?

Thanks for your help!

May be able to fit a standard 2" filter in the front of the flattener with some sort of 50mm to 48mm adapter if there is such a thing.

You could fit it on the rear between the T ring and the flattener but a bit dodgy and it would muck up the spacing.

If you're using a DSLR a clip filter would work.

Thanks Davey. I'm pretty sure I saw a picture of the flattener somewhere with a filter inside... But I can't remember where!

Sadly, the clip-in isn't an option, because there are none made for Fujifilm cameras...  

Edit: never mind, I just found it on FLO's website! So it's indeed 2" filters, and apparently you can screw it within the flattener

Thanks for that info, I've never tried taking mine apart
