Can Takahashi FS 60 CB takes a WO 2" diagonal or any other 2" diagonal beside its own Tak 2" diagonal?

Kevin:

Taks are "infamous" for the amount (or lack) of back-focus that they have. So if you use a non-Tak diagonal, either you end up with not enough back-focus, or too much (you'd have to add spacer rings).
