What size threads for front of 3.5" Questar? new
      #5241383 - 05/26/12 09:50 PM

Anyone know what the specificans/size/threads are for the front of the 3.5" Questar? I was thinking about purchasing the correct size UV photo filter to screw into the front and using it as a bit of added protection when I take my Field model out birding.

Don't know the thread count, but highly doubt you can find a UV filter of the right gigantic size. Questar offers a protective flat with the requisite flatness but it isn't cheap. Ironically flat is harder to make than curved...

I don't have a clue as to the thread specifications, either, but wanted a UV filter for my 50th Anniversary model, as I do a lot of public outreach and am nervous about little fingers, covered in peanut-butter. The 95 mm. filter, from B + W, fits perfectly, is superb quality has a bomb-proof coating and costs considerably less than Mother's flat. (I ordered mine from B + H, in New York.)
