Hey guys im sure this is a daft question but whatever Do they work with 1/2" sensors? Ive noticed the 0.5 reducers all seem to mention they are for 1/3" sensors. If i do decide to splash out on a new camera... Will i need to invest in a 0.5 reducer that works with the 1/2" cams too? The mallincam reducer for sct's are 250 bucks lol excessive is an understatement! If im buying a new cam at stupid money i dont want to need to buy a reducer at half the price of the camera! With the exception of Ken who makes his own. What reducers do you guys use for your 1/2" cams?

It says 'designed for Imaging, so it will be suitable for 1/3", 1/2", 35mm, and full frame cameras.

Ok here's one for you, coz I'm rubbish at maths. scope is 600mm @ F7.5 and if I use a 0.52 FR what does the scope become, or is there more things you have to take into consideration

Well I wouldn't swear to it, but if my maths are correct you should be operating your scope at 312mm @ f3.9.
I have an Antares 0.5 reducer that I use with both my DMK cams with 1/3" and 1/2" sensors, and have had no ill effects. I intend to try it with the Mallincam Jr Pro and Equinox 80mm, so will post my findings when I have had a chance to test it out.

600 x 0.52 = 312 7.5 x 0.52 = 3.9

Johnno, That formula will only work when all the planets are aligned and the sun is over the yard arm.
