Unfortunately, with the limited back focus there isn’t room for filters behind the MAXfield lens system. The front of the 2″ lens assembly, however, is threaded for manual insertion of 48mm filters. Optec filters are available for tri-color work, but any 48mm photographic or deepsky/LPR filter should fit into the front of the MAXfield. Of course, with the Starlight Xpress one-shot colour cameras (MX5-C, MX7-C) this is not a problem!
