    Hi,

    A few disjointed questions rolled into one thread:

    I purchased an ST-8300M back when they first hit the market. I've read forum posts around the web that indicate there may have been 'tweaks' or upgrades to the ST-8300 series (dew heaters and such). Is there a way to find out what these upgrades (if they exist) are, and how I might go about getting them?

    I have a FW5-8300 (and OAG 8300/ST-Ic) on my ST-8300M. I need to upgrade to an 8 position FW, but I *really* like the idea of the FW8S-STT positive detents in the wheel. Is there any chance this FW will work with my camera and OAG?

    Thanks in advance,

    Woody

    Hi Woody,

    The STT filter wheel is designed to fit the STT mechanically.
    It won't fit your ST or STF.

    You can contact Bill Lynch to see if he has any upgrade paths on your camera.

    If it has the dew heater you will see it installed next to the CCD chamber. I think the heater on mine is orange if I remember correctly.
