I *think* so, as the 150 Max and C6 versions are listed as the same price on FLO: https://www.firstlightoptics.com/bahtinov-focus-masks/starsharp-bahtinov-focus-masks.html
Another SGL member may be able to confirm. I can measure it tomorrow if you like?

I have just sent FLO an email and asked if they can confirm the 150mm sizes are ‘generic’.

Update: most items sold, I'm withdrawing this ad to create a new one just for the Skymax 150. I don't have an option to edit the thread title to include "Withdrawn" -- does anyone know how I can do this?

I think you edit the original first post and that allows you to edit the title as well

Thanks for the reply. I think you're right, but I don't have the "Edit" button next to "Quote" for the early posts in this thread. I'm probably missing something obvious!
