Vixen SD Reducer HD Kit (59953)

The Vixen SD Reducer HD Kit is a high-performance accessory set designed for prime focus astrophotography with Vixen SD81S, SD103S, and SD115S optical tubes. This kit is ideal for users who want to achieve ultra-sharp images across the entire field of view when using DSLR cameras with full-frame sensors. It includes a high-quality flattener lens, a reducer lens, and connecting rings (Spacer Ring SD81 and EX Tube 66) to ensure compatibility and optimal results.

Key Features

Enhanced Flat-Field Performance:
The kit significantly improves image sharpness and flatness, especially at the edges of the field, making it perfect for full-format DSLR imaging.

Focal Length Reduction:
By combining the flattener with the supplied Reducer HD, the focal length of the optical tube is reduced by a factor of 0.79x. For example, an f/7.7 system becomes f/6.1. This allows for a wider field of view while maintaining a large, sharp image circle of 44mm.
