wheel is definitely one of your better options.  And the closer your filters and sensor are to each other, the larger the effective aperture of your filters will be, helping to minimize or eliminate vignetting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wanderer Astro Snowflake SFW36 Filter Wheel comes with three 2mm back focus spacers as standard equipment, allowing the user to increase the thickness of up to 20mm when changes to back focus distance is required.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHigh Positioning Accuracy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Snowflake uses a gear-driven system combined

entering the system.  You will also enjoy the simple process when installing the filter mask, as it requires half the screws to hold the filters in place.  A one piece filter mask also helps prevent a dropped screw from falling through and lodging some place inconvenient!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those who prefer conventional filter masks, Wanderer Pro has included individual filter masks
