Anyone try this combination? I've been told by both parties it works well, D&G saying the color correction is almost perfect because of their well corrected lens to begin with. Considering a 6" f/12 for friendlier use vs. the f/15. The chromacor was optimized for 120mm to 150mm at f/8, but supposedly works with longer focal ratios too. Curious if anyone has experimented???

I use a Chromacor for my 8" F12 D&G and it works fabulously. Valery gave me a distance of 304mm, I had to shorten the tube, but it was worth it believe me. The Aries Yahoo discussion group has a lot of info.
