I bought one last night

Have you won the lottery without telling us Billy.....

The amount you have bought recently. LOL

[Psychobilly]

Twas a bargain too good to miss in the for sale section... had to act quickly also frees up the IDAS again for use on the scopes and I like to have a few things on the go at a time during the rare clear nights...

Raining tonight...

Thanks all excellent review, im buying one tomorrow...............

[Beyond_Vision]

Dont forget it's not compatible with Canon EF-s lenses.

Billy just checking thats to use on your 1000d. If so this can be used with the kit lens.

[Psychobilly]

Yes for the 1000D... No it cant be used with the kit lens... unless you perform some surgery (wich i will on a non-kit 18-55 lens that I have...

But I have other lenses as well....

It should be great for the 50mm f1.8, the Sigma 28-300 and hopefully Nikon glass when used with the adpator...

The review is for the standard CLS filter not the CCD version which also adds Uv/IR CUT and is quite a bit more expensive...and IMHO essential for a modded DSLR which would give softer bloaty images without UV/IR Cut....

So right place right time lastnight

For an unmodded DSLR would you need the CLS filter or the CCD version.

[Psychobilly]

It depends on how the mod was done ... I removed the filter from the front of the sensor and replaced it with fresh air... no clear glass no replacement filter nothing... So I need to put Uv/IR cut back into the optical train normally when the modded camera is on the scopes this is taken care of by the 2" IDAS P2...

When used with camera lenses this isnt so easy I have tried tapign the IDAS to the front of the DSLR lenses but its not ideal and its undersize so causes vignetting...also woryignto haev an expenive filter held in place by tape...

If you have the camera modded and use one of the afetr market filters then provided this has UV/IR cut then the normal and cheaper filter will be fine...

Billy...

[beamer3.6m]

But my DSLR is unmodded so which would be best.

[Psychobilly]

Either....

Sorry I explained the options for modded cams but didn't specifically say for un-modded it doesnt matter...

If you want peace of mind in case you mod the camera in the future get the one with the UV/IR cut then you have all bases covered...

Billy..

So unmodded DSLR will not result in bloated stars with the standard one then?

[Psychobilly]

No
