Will Ed80 FF reducer fit my 72ed

[AstroNebulee]

Hi

I have a chance of purchase a FF reducer for my 72ed ds pro. The FF is for an Ed80 so would this fit my scope, my imaging train is a rotator screwed to the focus tube. 

Then atm my ovl FF the the 21 and 16. 5mm spacers fhen the tilt adjuster then 294mc pro. 

So a) will it fit my scope and b) is it worth the upgrade 

Cheers

Is this the field flattener you are thinking of getting?

Sky-Watcher .85x Reducer/Flattener for ED80 | First Light Optics

If it is this comment on the OVL field flattener on the FLO page for the OVL FF may help:

"£100 less than the "optically matched" reducer/flattener from SW which is not even optically matched, just frankenstiened from the the ED80's reducer/flattener."

Hi Laurence 

Yep thats the one, I'm not sure it'll be much of an upgrade on my ovl FF then. Thank you 👍

Cheers

Just an update and after conferring with flo I have bought the FF reducer as it will fit into my rotator without need of adapters and will be better than my ovl at present.
