Test market sale: tmb 80/480 & 80/600 lens cell

Will the 80/480 lens cell fits into ZS 80mm fluorite doublet tube? I think WO compensated the focal length difference by using the extension tube.

No, it doesn't fit the WO 80 FD tube. I have other source for the customized CNC tmb tube (also made in Russia) that is below SGD ***.

Focuser not included, you have to buy the Feather touch separately. I will show the photo later, it is actually same as the tmb tube.

I am not sure whether it is APM subcontrator though the picture looks same. (I remember the APM OTA subcontractor is in Germany ?)

liu ming, which model of feathertouch compatible with the tube? is the focuser threaded or bolted to the tube? does the tube come with retractable dewshield, mounting rings, front cap, and knife edge baffles?

Hi, Arief,
The focuser is not threaded into the tube, it goes in through an adapter. Yes, the tube has retractable dewshield, clampshell mounting ring and front cap, I am not sure if the baffles are knife edge and need to check the photos (not at home) again.

Hi, Arief,

This is a finished sample for your information. (with feather touch, tube, tube ring and cover)
