Christopher ★★★★★

Finally got this reducer to pair with my FC-76DC, and the 36 mm imaging circle is a game changer for my full-frame sensor. Stars are sharp right to the edges, and the f/5.5 ratio makes framing nebulae much easier during shorter sessions.

Robert ★★★★★

I was worried about vignetting with my crop sensor, but the 36mm imaging circle covers it cleanly edge to edge. Stars stay tight out to the corners now, and my exposure times dropped noticeably.

Lucy K. ★★★★★

The f/5.5 conversion makes a real difference in how much light I can pull in during a single exposure. My stars stay round right out to the corners of the imaging circle too, which I wasn't expecting at this price.
