One simple question that doesn't have an answer on the Televue site:

On a 6,8,10,13mm 1.25"/2" Ethos EP... can I use a 2" UHC or OxigenIII filter? Or do I have to use a 1.25" filter?

Thanks and cheers

Hi Paulo,

You can only use 1.25" filters. If you really think about it, how would you screw on a 2" filter to the 1.25/2 Etha? I have the 13mm Ethos, and actually traded away a narrowband 2" filter for a couple 1.25 Lumicon filters to use with my Ethos, which is my ep of choice almost all the time now.

But Shawn is right. If you really want to use the 2" filters, get the skirt as an accy.
