Product Info
Manufacturer Description
The Classic Q-Barlow has been optically matched to the new Baader Classic Eyepieces, and its 2.25x magnification gives a well spaced set of focal lengths. Its removable lens cell can also be unthreaded from the 1.25" barrel and directly threaded onto any of the eyepieces to give 1.3x, further filling in the choice of focal lengths. Alternatively, it can be directly threaded onto the 1.25" barrel of the Q-Turret (sold separately) to give 2.25x.
- Baader 1.25" Q Barlow for visual and photographic use # BQB 2956185
- Versatile dual magnification Barlow (1.3x or 2.25x)
- 2.25x magnification factor if used as is with included extension tube
- Barlow lens element can be removed and screwed directly on to 1.25" filter threads on eyepieces to provide approximately 1.3x magnification
- Very high transmittance, high contrast, and thus an extremely clear, distortion-free image
- Attach the barlow element directly to 1.25" prime focus photography adapters (sold separately) for barlowed imaging of the Moon and planets

Sep 29, 2016An interesting Barlow, but could use a compression ring
Pros:Strong Construction,Quality Lenses,Accurate,Easy to Use
Cons:compression screw will mar EP barrels
Comments:Optically this is a fine Barlow, especially for the price. With the EP inserted into the barrel it is a 2.25x, but with the element removed and threaded onto the filter threads of an EP, it is 1.3x, a nice feature. My only complaint is the compression screw, which can mar the EP barrels. I'd be willing to pay more for a brass compression ring.

Jan 24, 20162 in 1 barlow
Pros:Strong Construction,Lightweight,Easy to Use,Quality Lenses,Compact
Cons: Comments:The thing that sold me on this is the fact that it can be used as 2 barlows. In its own sleeve or screwed into any 1.25" eyepiece.

Aug 15, 2014Perfect partner for my 80mm refractor
Pros:Quality Lenses,Distortion Free Image,Accurate,Strong Construction,Easy to Use
Cons: Comments:I use it mostly for planetary observation... and find it very versatile to use the the dual magnification option (1.3x or 2.25x) by threading the lens onto any of my Baader fine eyepieces. The Baader optical quality provides outstanding light transmittance and I get the clearest image imaginable from my refractor.
