Reducer??

[gary1968]

Howdy,

Just a quick question, in astronomy and astro imaging if I want to increase my field of view there is 2 ways to do this.
Firstly by changing the telescope for a different focal length and secondly by fitting a reducer into the imaging path.
Are there any reducers available for Caonon lenses? I would like to get down to about 10mm, inexpensively, until I can raise funds for the Canon 10~20mm lens.

Re: Reducer??

I have seen screw on lens attachements to give a wider perspective, but the results are terrible.

I would sooner take two shots and stitch them together if I needed anything that wide.

Thanks for that Colin, looks like I will make do with what I have just now until I can get the lens I want.

Cheers,
Gary
