William Optics 0.8x Flattener/Reducer (P-FLAT6AIII)

This William Optics 0.8x Flattener/Reducer has been designed to optimize the flat-field imaging performance of William Optics GT71, GT81, Z81 & Z103 refactors. The APO triplet optics of the Field Flattener and Reducer was made with Ohara glass and fully multi-coated to provide good illumination and a beautifully flat field across 97% of full frame sensors.

The reducing factor is 0.8X. Designed with M63 threads on the telescope side, the Field Flattener and Reducer will thread directly into the telescope. Just remove the three screws on the focuser adapter, take off the adapter, and thread the focal reducer/field flattener on in it's stead. The Field Flattener and Reducer has 2" threads on the opposite side to accept a 48mm (Wide) T ring for your DSLR. There is even a slot behind the 2" threads to accept an M48 filter.

The Field Flattener and Reducer is adjustable to help you achieve the proper back focus. Adjustment distances & back focus, as well as the image circle measurement for each of the telescopes are listed below.
