New Baader T-2 and M48 parts with omly 3 mm thread length

Modern cameras are usually characterised by extremely short optical heights, in order to be able to be mounted on various telescope constructions. To take care of this new development, all new Baader T-2 and M48 parts are delivered with the new 3 mm standard. These two new nose pieces with Safety Kerfs are further developments of our 1¼" or 2" / T-2 nose pieces #2458105 and #2408150 with 5 mm T-2 thread. We currently have no plans to remove the two previous nosepieces from our product range.
