Dear Pornchai,
If you take a look on William's images made with APO140 + AP 0.75X
telescopressor - you will see that this combination works, but you may
see elongated stars at the edges for the FOV of his camera Nikon D50.
If we do two-lens telecompressor it will work similar way.
For better result and wider field a min three-lens corrector with ED
element must be done, that will cost ~$2000 ...
So, if the goal is wide field imaging - buy TAK!

A specially designed telescope for imaging could be the answer, and we
are working on such one, it will have F5.6 focal ratio and flat field.
I will not add more details until we finish and test prototype.
But I expect that if it works and be available, some time later people
will ask a focal reducer for that unit too... :-)

Best regards, Yuri
