TAKAHASHI TOA-645 FLATTENER FOR TOA-150B
Takahashi
TAKAHASHI TOA-645 FLATTENER FOR TOA-150B is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
The Takahashi TOA-645 Flattener for TOA-150B is a 0.99x field flattener for the TOA-150B Ortho-Apo triplet refractor. The TOA-645 Flattener has a large image circle of 60mm, making it suitable for use with medium format sensors. When paired with the TOA-150B, the focal length is slightly reduced to 1085mm and focal ratio to f/7.2.
The TOA-645 Flattener is an evolution of the TOA-67FL super-reducer, optimized for modern large CMOS sensors with small pixels. While the TOA range of refractors give perfect correction of chromatic and spherical aberration, this focus on the best possible aberration correction results in greater field curvature. As a result, the image is distorted at the edges of the field unless a flattener or reducer is used.
The TOA-645 Flattener transcends the limitations of the earlier TOA-67FL and TOA-35FL correctors, providing an optimal solution for both the TOA-130 and TOA-150 to be used to their full potential.
The TOA-645 Flattener for TOA-150B TKA32587S includes the M72 Extension Tube (L) set along with two TKA31584 M92 x 1 25mm extension tubes, providing the necessary spacing for DSLRs and allowing an M54 x 0.75 connection to common imaging systems.
