This adapter is manufactured to precise tolerances to form part of the correct back focus distance when connecting the WandererRotator Pro to the Takahashi 645 QE 0.72x reducer. You will still need to account for the remaining distance with other spacers to match your specific camera's sensor depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"DAV-accordion-Q\"\u003eI have an FSQ-106EDX4 with the 645 QE 0.72x reducer and a WandererRotator Pro.
