Description

When originally conceived, the FSQ-85EDX was meant for use with APS-C or smaller CCD or CMOS chips.  At image circle radii beyond about 14 mm, field curvature was evident in larger chips.  This new flattener will greatly reduce this field curvature, resulting in a practically flat field out to a 22 mm image circle radios. The two spot diagrams below demonstrate the impact of the flattener on field curvature.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Claire T. ★★★★★

The curvature on my full-frame sensor is completely gone now—even at the very edges of the frame. Installation was straightforward, and the build quality feels solid for the price.

Olivia ★★★★★

Switching from my old reducer, this flattener made the field curvature at the edges of my APS-C sensor finally disappear. The corrective lens spacing feels precise, and my star shapes are round right to the corners now.

Scarlett ★★★★★

Finally got clean stars all the way to the edges of my APS-C sensor. The machining is precise and it threaded on without any fuss.
