I believe Lumicon sells focal reducers that are designed for use with a 2" diagonal/and regular focuser (non-sct threads).

Jay, I asked this question a while ago..., as it seemed weird not seeing a product out there that would just thread into the diagonal or the eyepiece as a "regular" filter does...

I'll check into Lumicon to see if they have such a product... (thanks Walter for the suggestion...)
