simple Vixen question

Posted By Laszlo Sturmann

Can anyone tell where the focal plane is with respect to a Vixen 0.62x focal reducer installed in a VMC200L when the telescope is focused to infinity?

I purchased this focal reducer on Astromart. It came with a Japanese description. I figured that a 60mm photo-adapter and a T-ring is what Vixen recommends. Now, I'm perfectly capable of making my own adapters for my own stuff given the necessary information but I couldn't get the position of the focal plane from vixenoptics.com. Alternatively, I asked the thickness of their 60 mm photo-adapter. Apparently, that is also trade secret. Isn't this odd?

Thanks.
