OSC with filter wheel question

[mgirdwood]

Hi,  I am trying to minimise my gear changing between OSC and Mono cameras.  Using a 5 slot FW, is it possible to use the OSC with the Lum filter or would i need to leave a blank slot in the FW. 
Reason to ask is that i would like to add an Optolong Extreme filter into one of the slots for the OSC. but would fill all the slots LRGB plus Extreme .  this way i only have to switch cameras and wont mess up my back focus etc. (dont really want to buy a bigger wheel)
Or am i missing a trick that others use in the same circumstances ?

  Thanks

I can’t see why you couldn’t image through the L filter with your OSC camera, as it is a UV/IR cut filter.

I agree, though adding a layer of glass can't be ideal. Probably won't make much difference though. You'll have a slightly different focus position if that affects the rig in any way.

Agree with the rest. If I would be worried about something it would be the two extra surfaces for dust bunnies to sit on.
