RedCat 51mm f/4.9 MK2.5

Mark 2.5 RedCat (2023) with upgraded angle tilt adjuster. This has now been replaced with the WIFD variant, so once these sell out, they are gone. We still consider this version to be a superior choice for a lightweight package with a camera tracker mount like the iOptron SkyGuider Pro or SkyWatcher GTI. (The WIFD variant is two pounds heavier, and better suited for use with a focus motor for a more automated setup.)

Accepts 55mm photo filters on the front, including 55mm thread on solar filters.

Probably the very?sharpest 250mm camera lens you will find!
