I use the Parallax rings with a dovetail from Scope stuff now.

However, I like the simplicity of the Clamshell and held onto it.

Robyn Casady has an 8" EM dovetail with a circle recess for the Clamshell (I just bought one myself) and Farpoint has one as well.

Hi Pete,
you might try a Baader Steeltrack Focuser, as mentioned above I think, but that might be a bit out of your target price. Or I believe the focuser made by Dan Crawford are pretty nice;
