Product Info

Manufacturer Description

Eyepiece parfocalizing rings allow you to set the focus of multiple eyepieces accurately so that you can change eyepieces rapidly without refocusing. The ring mounts on the barrel of the accessory (eyepiece, camera, etc.) to set the focus point. The slim rings allow a close fit to the eyepiece barrel. Each ring is supplied with a fitting allen key. The rings are precision-manufactured from aluminum. Available for 1.25" and 2" eyepieces.

      5.0 2" Blue Fireball Parfocalising Ring

      Pros:

      Cons:

      Comments:

      I bought two... One to put on the nosepiece of my diagonal to get a bit of finger clearance around the lock knob at the back end of my refractor, the other for the nosepiece my photographic adapter, so I wouldn't need to rack the focuser so far out. Inexpensive and valuable improvements to the telescope.

      Use this parafiocalizing ring on my focal reducer image train for my telescope. It maintains the correct spacing while rotating the camera to frame the image.

      5.0 Parfocalizing Ring Blue Fireball

      Pros:

      Accurate,Strong Construction,Compact,Easy to Use,Lightweight

      Cons:

      Comments:

      Was looking for a solution to my lack of back focus in my Zhumell Dob while using Televue lenses. And after searching for an interchangeable drawtube for the Zhumell focuser, I found that there's no such thing. These parfocalizing rings provide a nice level face to butt up against the focuser assuring alignment whilst gaining me some back focus. I knew there had to be a better alternative to just letting an expensive eyepiece dangle out in the focuser drawtube, because that's what I had to resort to, but not any more. This was quite an annoyance for me and this product, I think will be a good solution. They are made well. Fit perfectly. Experience with Agena was great. Shipping was great. Thank you. Cory W

      4.0 Good Ring but set screws are a bit small

      Pros:

      Good value,Accurate

      Cons:

      Comments:

      These rings are a very good value. However, I found the set screws to be a bit too small. They're not too small to hold the ring in place but rather it's too easy to strip out the hex end of the set screw.

      If they went to a larger set screw I would give this 5 stars.
